Can you be a good runner and a good lifter?
I've been doing a lift routine (all pro beginner) and bulking for the last month with just a few cardio sessions and did a 5k run today which before would have been no big deal but this was miserable and I got a really disappointing time compared to my last 5k before I started lifting. Before I started lifting my 5k time was 19:40 this one was 23:13. I'm concerned because I really like running and I've only been doing the lift/bulk for a month and if its having that much of an effect on my running time. It may also have been a mistake to do my heavy day on the day before the race. I didn't like how skinny I was when I was focused on running, I guess I'm wondering if I can have my cake and eat it too; get bigger and stronger but still be able to run fast?
Thanks!
