Currently I am lifting 4 days a week and doing cardio 5-6 days a week. I am running alot because I am training to run a marathon in 2 weeks. YIKES!!
After the marathon I really want to change my work out to a more muscle building program.
Currently I am 5'2" about 119lbs and 20.5% BF.
I would like to lean out much more, but even with the amount of running I am doing I am having problems with that. I am eating very clean right now. About 1400-1500 cal a day. 45% pro, 35% carb, 20% fat.
My current lifting is using 3 sets of 12-15 reps.
I know that I need to change it up now, but don't know how much to do that. Should I go 4 sets of around 8 reps or has any tried 5 x 5 to build up more?
Also, when changing my weight program how much cardio should I stick with after my marathon is over so I don't burn muscle on long cardio sessions?
Thanks
