    So, on what type of surface do you jump?

    Something that gives a little-like a wood floor, tennis court, field track, gym mat. Of course if you're in a boxing gym you can jump rope within the ring..

    has anyone tried a "world trail?"

    all of this sounds great, but seriously, how do you guys manage to run after lifting? my legs just like buckle under, and I'm usually starving by that point. After lifting for an hour or so, not only do I not have the strength in my legs to run, but I'm just too tired/hungry.

    An hour or so? Try breaking it down to two body parts 15-20 minute per (30-40 minutes total). Then run/cardio for 30 minutes..Of course it will be harder on the days you do lower body, but it sounds like you may be over doing it if your legs are 'buckling' under..

    I have to do all my lower body parts in one work out (and same for upper) because I can only lift about 3 days a week on average- I have to run distance the other days. Plus, the point is to get tired, the more body parts you do, the harder it is to do the others. It takes me roughly 45 minutes I think, i'm not sure I never really time the entire workout altogether.

    Well first of all, I don't run because I don't think it's worth the stress on my joints...I use a stationary bike. And second, I get up early to do cardio, then lift in the evening. I'm just saying if you HAVE to cram both lifting and cardio into the same time slot, it's better to do the cardio second. Ideally though, you want to split them up throughout the day.

    that's not exactly true...ideally you should work out twice a day, but you should do one "full" work out and one smaller, cardio-based work out.

    Look, I'm just saying it's better to split up cardio and lifting into separate sessions rather than do them one right after the other. If you wanna get into what is literally "ideal", then what both of us said isn't exactly true...there's no such thing as ideal when it comes to this stuff.

    I have been jumping rope for years now. I prefer it over running.
    I used to box for a few years and I still stick with the boxing workout. I love it. I have been slacking the past month but I really love it.
    The rope, heavy bag, speed bag, double end bag etc..

    O lord. abysmal today for first day back...

    ran about 1.25 miles
    bike 10 minutes
    light naut lifting (back)

    (talking to self...)

    You need to get your fat ass outta gear and get this going. Get this done jackass. If you don't you will blow it just like you did last year, the year before that, and the year before that. You were in top shape once a long time ago. Get it back. Your presumed athletic ability is long gone. Get it back before you die. You were once fast, strong, fit. Get it back. You owe it to your kids.
    I love to turn you on

    2 miles. I haven't run in over 2 weeks, and it was pretty cool. I listened to In the End about 3 time, and PJ's In my Tree among others. I just hope I don't get swept at the Cherry Blossom Run. Of course, we'll see when we get there. No matter what I'm having cake afterwards. If I'm really on the ball it would cake I bake :D

    I realized how much weight I gained when I shaved my beard. I always can tell in my face.

    Jump Rope 12 minutes, three sets of 4min.
    Speed bag three rounds
    Dips three sets of 12
    Stand up chest press 3 sets of 35
    Arm curls 3 sets of 20
    Hammer curls 3 sets of 20
    push ups 2 sets of 50

    Still slacking, usually my real workout is a hell of alot harder.
    Getting there.

    Well my training schedule is interrupted for a while. While trail running Sunday I suffered a Grade III sprain. I am wearing this gawdawful boot thing and can't run, swim or bike for a while. Once the swelling and pain subside I will be able to switch to a lace up brace and spin on the bike and pool run. But then after those activities I have to put the "Barge Boot" back on.

    I am upset! I was in one of best running conditions and now that will be lost. Oh well, sh** happens. I had already paid my $50.00 for the upcoming trail race on Saturday too. That won't be happening. It is difficult to walk to the car now, much less run or walk 14 miles of single path.

    Yeah, it's a pretty rough trail - singlepath, roots, rocks, hickory nuts, gum balls (from gum trees) etc. It was a pretty smooth section that I was running on when my ankle went over, however. It was just something little under the leaves. I have hurt this ankle before several times. It is weaker than it should be.

    I usually don't wear a brace after my injuries heal because then the ankle won't strenthen on its own. However, I will probably be wearing some kind of brace for a while once I get back to running. It is a pretty serious sprain.

    By the way, I am female. And what is funny in a strange kind of way is three weeks earlier - on the same trail - my husband sprained his ankle. However, his was not as bad as mine.

    Yes, we are quite the romantics. We complement each other. He sprained his right. I sprained by left.
