 Next question is from health reimagined 3000 if you're going to include running in your regimen Is it better to run before or after lifting whichever one you want to be good at that's it. Yeah, that's the bottom line You know that principle applies to lift her to yeah with exercise you want to get strongest that what body part you want to develop the most What skill you want to do develop the most, you know if your goal is endurance and stamina in running You should run before you lift if your goal is building muscle and strength Then you should do that before you run and there's studies on this that show that someone's gonna be asking Well, what if I want to do both? Well, it's the one you care about most. Yeah Or maybe alternate. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's that's fair. You know what I'm saying But but I think that everybody there's always something that's a little more important Right, like I'm a more focused on building my body than I am being really good at running But I really I want to run really good too. So well then that's gonna go after I work out or you're like I run that's what I'm more into but I also want to be strong and lift Well, then you do that first. Yeah, it's and it's true again. This is true for all programming So if someone's like, oh man, you know when I work I work out my legs and my lower body But my my butt doesn't grow or my hamstrings don't grow if you train those first and then go into the rest of your workout You'll notice better gains in that, right? It's true for for the whole body. That's that. What is that? There's a term for it where your body adapts most to the thing you do I guess earlier in the workout and it's definitely true for running now I do want to say that that lifting and running can Compete with each other with the signals that they send so that means that If you do both a lot, you'll get some of both but not a lot of either So and that's okay for a lot of people. They want to be well balanced. They want to have stamina and endurance They also want to have strength and muscle Then you do them both if your goal is more towards the muscle and strength You're going to do more of that and less of the running And vice versa and there are studies that that support, you know, kind of what we're talking about Now some people may say we're splitting hairs I'd say probably but if you do this all the time, you know, splitting hair starts to turn into a bigger impact Right. So if you do it once or twice or whatever, not that big of a deal But if this is how you always train Then the order of operation starts to make a bigger difference. I would also say there's a there's a little bit of Individual variants here too. Like sometimes some people like They swear by like running a mile before they start their workout It just energizes them and gets them ramped up. I guess it's easy for you Right. So and so some people will swear by it Kind of priming them for getting ready to do a lift and they find more energy Other people will be like man every time I run before I work out. I just my my lifts suffer I'm just not as strong or what that which is I think most people are like that But there are exceptions to the rule and so some of this is a little bit on your individual preference Do you do you feel better? You know, do you do you when you lift first? Does it does it really hinder your running to where you don't enjoy your run at all? So you have to run first or vice versa. Like I mean a little bit that has to come into play I like challenging anybody in terms of even if like running is your priority to focus specifically on strength for a phase Just like if if you're just all focused on strength You focus exclusively on conditioning and endurance and running, you know, specifically as You know a period of time where you can devote getting better at the mechanics the technique And really just like honing in on that to to bring that skill set Back into the overall, but you know, your body really does like respond specifically To things if you can, you know, stay within one type of adaptation I used to do it before and after but it was because I had didn't have a driver's license So when I was a kid I one of the first gyms I joined was the ymca. Yeah, and I didn't run to it I walked and ran everywhere. I don't yeah, but I rode my bike So I'd be a 30 minute bike ride before and after my workout And so that's how I used to train when I was when I was a kid Hey, if you enjoyed that clip you can find the full episode here Or you can find other clips over here and be sure to subscribe
