I am running in a 15K (9.2 mile) on July 11th. I am training to maintain my muscle mass as much as possible while training for this. I am trying to figure out how to adjust my resistance training program. I know that I should probably do high reps to get my body ready for this distance but my goal is to run the race with my muscle mass that I have now. This is what I have come up with.
Monday
Deadlifts-10, 8, 6
Overhead Press - 5X5
Squats - 5X5
Seated Calf Raise - 2X12
Wednesday
Barbell Rows - 5X5
Bench Press - 5X5
Deadlifts - 1 set of 20
Friday
Shrugs - 5X5
Barbell Curls - 5X5
Dips - 5X5
Squats - 5X5 with weight from Monday
Standing Calf Raise - 2X8
Also, I would change up some of the exercises from time to time so that I don't get bored and keep the variety going.
