Keep in mind that you're a novice lifter for a longer period of time than you think you are. Novice lifting can last anywhere from a few months to a year or two, depending on how hard you hit the weights and where you started.
Once you've reached the point where you don't make regular progress on the SS program, you are ready to move on to the intermediate stage, which can last you for a good number of years. Find it HERE:
If you're a very advanced lifter (many, many years of CONSISTENT weight training), then there are lot of programs out there, and which one you pick is simply a matter of preference. If you're really that advanced, you should know what works for you and what doesn't by this point. [Reply]
I partially pulled a hammy racing some young whippersnapper at the beach on Mother's Day.
I was drunk and he was talking shit so I jumped up and dusted him in (about) a 40. Had been drinking all day, probably dehydrated as all shit. Just popped right up and ran the race without stretching :-) [Reply]

Maybe I'll cut back on distance and just do sprints.
yeah definitely look into HIIT on a bike or airdyne bike. I picked up one of those old school airdynes a while ago when I built my home gym. Thing is a beast. 5 min warm up, 10 sprints (10-15s all out, 40s rest), 5 min cool down, 2-3 times a week and your set. Best thing is its 0 impact on your joints, so I can still lift 6 days a week.

I took some time off running to heal an injury from hockey. I was averaging 3-4 miles a day (treadmill) so I figured I would start with 2 miles. About 3 laps in, my lower right leg gets super tight and locks up.
I've experienced this before once before but it disappeared the next day. This time it's not going away and I'm 4-5 days into running again.
Any advice or tips on what it could be? I hydrate adequately and I stretch before I run. [Reply]

Oh yes this. You'll never feel anything like it and it's over very quick. It's perfect. [Reply]
