Running and strength training

Can I tag along with this thread?

Want to train for a 10k and have currently been doing Stronglifts, but I feel like this may be too much squatting.

Hope to do something similar in terms of 3 exercises using the bar each workout.

You don't want to put on any mass. It's harder to carry. If you want to be competitive, don't lift. If just a hobby, prioritize one or the other and do a maintenance until you have reached your running goal then work to progress the lifting after you meet a goal and then go for the long haul

Depends on goals. A truly competitive race wants to be light. I've heard rule of thumb that 1 lb is 2 seconds per mile. so drop 10 lbs of unnecessary fat and or muscle, and you gain a minute in a 5k for the same effort. Of course that is just a rough estimate.

For someone doing it as a hobby, I think you can easily lift and do all squats and still reach your goal. As someone doing triathlons, I often have huge bike workouts and have to run on dead legs the next day. Not ideal, but it works. Run very easy. much easier than you plan to for a race. spend. small amount of your training working on more up tempo stuff when your legs aren't tired from working out. Maybe 20% of your running.

While I'm all about squatting, if your primary goal is running - I prefer single leg movements. Lunges or bulg split squats would be perfect. Step-ups, too.
