Hello SF crew,
I've been doing some research on the A+A methodology and have been interested in implementing it into my weekly training. My goal here is to train for ultra-running events.
First a little background, I'm coming from several years of Olympic/powerlifting style training and before that about a decade of functional/tactical style fitness. I previously have had the capacity to complete ultra-endurance events (completed 3 half-marathons and 2 marathons @ 280# last year) but I want to be faster. My current struggle is losing muscle mass while increasing my endurance output, ie. I can only run so far per week until I lose some weight. I have begun running regularly and wish to increase my Vo2 max, endurance, and overall base fitness in the endurance realm while keeping my running mileage consistent for a while. I do cycle but overall trying to reduce my leg mass tons of cycling isn't the best. Anyone have input on if my goal is this possible using the training outlined in the A+A? Thanks in advance.
