    Thanks loads, would you follow Jordan Peters FB and do 1 top set of everything or tweak the volume in any specific way?

    After marathon i will then prioritise bodybuilding again for a while and then have running as a secondary thing. I just don’t know what split and volume/frequency to train at.

    Im doing 4 runs a week. 1 long run then 3 easy/tempo runs per week. My long run distance progresses weekly, same as my other run mileages. My gym work would probably be leg focused as of right now 1) to improve my running and 2) they are relatively lacking so its good to bring them up from a bodybuilding perspective.

    This is just a one off. I think it’s from bringing back squatting as i temporarily stopped due to a pain in my knee. I did it again for the first time in a while the other day and that’s where i believe the soreness is from. I’m going to rest an extra day though amd hope im recovered by tomorrow to make progression easier and if not recovered I’ll still go and adjust my quad volume. Thank you for the help

    Sorry to ask here but it’s not letting me create a forum for whatever reason. Can i get help making a diet based on my daily macros, there aren’t many foods i don’t like and mince is probably my favourite meat.

    The macros i need daily are
    160g protein
    84g fat
    403g Carbs

    I can eat anytime except 1pm-4pm and 5pm-9pm

    I typically train in the mornings around 9am.

    Sorry again for posting here but it won’t let me create a forum, any help will be great.
