I am currently going very heavy with my squats and getting some really nice gains in power. The problem I am having is that the soreness/fatigue in my legs are inhibiting my conditioning training. I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to how to combat this problem.
A little info....I am squatting once a week and I am sore for about 3-4 days afterward, 2-3 of which there is no chance I can run. That leaves me only 3-4 days a week to run, which normally would be enough but I have a track background and I am used to running everyday. I am getting plenty of rest and protein so that shouldn't be an issue. I am stretching before and after so that shouldn't be a problem either. I have considered conditioning in other ways, but I make the best strides when running so I would really like to be able to keep running. I have been squatting for a long time now, but have recently started going heavier.
I'm not sure if there is anything I can do other than run less or squat less, but I am open to suggestions. Thanks everybody....
