Alright, hun, sounds like a LOT of goals there!

You lift 6 days a week?! EEK! Maybe we can try to even out some of your workouts if you can. Do you still work in a gym? I can see how tempting it would be to just LEAVE IT ALONE for a day

But it's necessary.

Especially with your running, if you do cardio and lifting on the same day, if you lift first, there will be little glycogen stores left to fuel your run -- so you won't go the distance you like... and if you run first and then lift... same thing. There won't be enough glycogen stores to fuel your lifts enough so you could make real strength gains.

What about M/W/F Run and Tu/Th/Sat lift? Sundays off? You can still do SOME running on lifiting days, but you'd do it after you lift and it'd be short.

Talk to GymGirl or Tweak. They are good with the running information.
