I know what you're thinking: what, a running thread in the barbell forum? Is he insane?!
In my next cycle, I'm planning to get back into some barbell back squats. Nothing too intense; I haven't done a back squat in years, just want to try to recover some of my old college strength. Figure it will help me jump higher, and sprint faster (along with some skill practice).
But, I also want to keep working my running LED base building - OCR prep. If there's two things one might expect to be subject to the interference effect, I'd think heavy squats and running. I dont expect I'll be doing high enough intensity in either domain to really trigger that much interference... but all the same, I dont want to be dumb.
Anybody else have much experience mixing heavy squats with endurance running? Any pointers?
Thanks in advance.
