In this concise instructional video, Eric Roberts explains how to successfully combine running and weight training. He starts by emphasizing the need to fuel the body adequately, recommending a calorie‑calculator to determine daily intake. For strength work, he advises lifting 3–4 times per week, performing 2–3 heavy sets per exercise and training close to failure. For running, he prescribes three weekly sessions: an easy 30–60 minute run, a shorter speed‑interval session, and a longer 60–90 minute zone‑2 run. Roberts then outlines a sample weekly schedule – Monday lower‑body lifting, Tuesday 45‑minute zone‑2 run, Wednesday upper‑body lifting plus speed intervals, Thursday rest, Friday full‑body lifting, Saturday long zone‑2 run, and Sunday full rest – illustrating how the two modalities can be balanced without compromising either.
