Im 43 and havent ran for any length of distance since junior high. Ive kept with bro splits and powerlifting since then but zero long distance cardio. My cardio had consisted of heavy bag and hit. Last few months ive decided on the health aspect. I remember reading Jim Wendler saying "if you cant run 2 miles anytime, you're not a man". So 2 miles became my goal. Not even for time. My orginal goal was just to run 2 miles without stopping. It took about 8 to 10 sessions until i was able to run 2 miles in 22 minutes. I became hooked. Im starting to love running. My pace is 7km/4.3 miles.
As a lifter im looking for a running range. Either time or minimum distance. 5 reps for strength. 8 - 12 for hypertrophy. Whats a good minimum running range without going overboard. Or is 2 miles 3 times a week good enough?
