#1,130 — Running 100 Miles in a Month While Lifting 4x a Week: My Full Training, Nutrition & Recovery Breakdown
I’m 15 days and 56 miles into a 100-mile running challenge for the month of October, and in this episode I break down exactly how I’m making it work while still lifting four days a week, running a business, and being present as a husband and dad.This isn’t theory. It’s my actual programming, my actual schedule, and what I’m actually eating and taking right now. You’ll hear how I structure easy, conversational-pace runs so they don’t turn into hard days, how I adjusted my upper/lower, push/pull lifting split to prioritize hamstrings, glutes, and knee health, and the 4–6 hour rule I use to separate running and lifting to reduce the interference effect and hold onto muscle.We also get into nutrition for hybrid training: the roughly 500-calorie increase, how I fuel before and during runs, and why I bumped creatine to 10 grams a day under higher training stress. Plus my recovery non-negotiables, the fatigue warning signs I watch for, and what my Garmin data (pace, fitness age, stress) has shown so far.If you’re a busy parent wondering how to fit serious training into a full life, this one gives you a real blueprint and the one principle that makes it sustainable.In this episode:My weekly running structure and how I planned 100 miles in 31 daysHow to combine running and strength training without losing muscleA real day in my life as a father, husband, and CEOCalorie, protein, and carb adjustments for higher training volumePre-run fueling, intra-run carbs, and the supplements earning their spotSleep, recovery habits, and managing total life stressGarmin metrics, fitness age, and data vs. how I actually feelThe biggest mistake people make trying to copy this, and where to start insteadJoin the run club: Want accountability?
