Running alongside lifting

Reviewer Detailed, evidence-backed, and genuinely actionable - top tier for this topic.

Moderator This is a direct, structured breakdown of exactly how to sequence cardio (including running specifically vs low-impact alternatives) around lifting sessions to avoid killing gains - timing, modality choice, and volume thresholds. Couldn't be more on-topic.

Reviewer Detailed, research-backed, and genuinely useful programming.

Moderator This is precisely the intersection the sub-skill is about -- strength and plyometric work chosen specifically for what running demands at different speeds, muscle by muscle. Couldn't be more on-topic.

Reviewer Rare video that gives you real numbers instead of hand-waving - excellent.

Moderator Directly examines the interference effect between cardio and resistance training with meta-analyses, and gives concrete guidance on frequency/duration thresholds where cardio starts eating into lifting gains - exactly what someone trying to combine running with lifting needs to know.

Reviewer Actually explains the research and gives you real zone percentages to train by, excellent.

Moderator This is exactly the sub-skill, title and content both: how to balance running and weight training, concurrent training interference research, running training zones, and how to structure a week to progress in both. Nothing tangential about it.

Reviewer Genuinely useful, implementable programming advice.

Moderator This is exactly the sub-skill — how to structure a lifting split so it supports rather than wrecks your running.

Reviewer Sharp, practical answer from someone who clearly coaches this for a living.

Moderator This is the sub-skill, full stop - a running/strength coach directly answering how to sequence lifting and running on the same day, with the actual decision rule (whichever matters more goes first; otherwise protect quality by spacing sessions six hours or across days).

Reviewer Actionable numbers, not just philosophy -- you could build your week from this today.

Moderator This is the skill, full stop -- the entire video is about how to structure a week that includes both lifting and running: how many days of each by fitness level, how to pull back current volume when adding the other discipline, and the common mistake of not being willing to lift less. Nothing generic here, it's built around the exact question.

Reviewer Practical, specific, and realistic about compromises - good coaching.

Moderator Directly about which days in a training week to lift relative to running workouts, with a concrete weekly example (hard days, easy days, long run day). This is squarely inside the sub-skill - it's the scheduling half of running-plus-lifting.

Reviewer Actually reasons through the physiology instead of just giving an opinion.

Moderator Exactly the question this skill is about: does cardio after a lifting session interfere with muscle growth. Directly and squarely on-topic.

Reviewer Honest, practical weekly template from someone who actually lives it, good stuff.

Moderator Exactly the sub-skill: how to actually schedule running and lifting together without burning out. Gives a real weekly template alternating lift/run days with specific session lengths and days of week.

Reviewer Sims brings real numbers and age-specific nuance you don't get elsewhere in this batch.

Moderator Direct discussion of how many resistance vs cardiovascular sessions women should be doing per week, broken down by age decade, plus how that mix should shift (failure-based training when younger, heavier/lower-volume as you age, SIT/HIIT dosing). This is squarely about balancing lifting and cardio training load for women, matching the category too. Not purely 'pull-up' style single-skill content but the whole segment is about structuring resistance + cardio together.

Reviewer Good, clear, just a single exercise's worth of value.

Moderator Directly addresses why runners should strength train and gives a specific exercise tied to explosive stride power - exactly the combined-training idea.

Reviewer Honest, practical, and the hierarchy gives you something to actually apply.

Moderator Builds an explicit hierarchy - lifting first, sprint intervals second, walking third, Pilates fourth - and is candid about the coach's own mistakes overdoing cardio and underdoing lifting. This is squarely about how to sequence and balance cardio work (including running-type intervals) with a lifting program.

Reviewer Science-backed and practical - the SFR framing and the volume ceiling are things I actually use with clients.

Moderator Directly about choosing and dosing cardio (including jogging) so it doesn't cannibalize your lifting - SFR selection, protecting leg-day quality, capping weekly cardio volume. That's the actual question someone balancing running and lifting is asking.

Reviewer Clear weekly split with real run-walk sessions and progression. Best for beginners, light for anyone already running regularly.

Moderator Squarely on fitting running around lifting: three full-body lift days, two or three run days, one rest day, and how to progress the runs. It also touches on diet for building muscle, but the core is how to schedule and structure both without losing muscle. General programming rather than women-specific, though it applies just as well.

Reviewer Credible, concrete, and practical — a real answer instead of vague reassurance.

Moderator This is Huberman relaying Andy Galpin's take on exactly the tension a lifter adding running/cardio worries about: does it eat into strength and hypertrophy gains? Galpin's answer — no, it doesn't impede and can enhance it, and it doesn't have to be scheduled as 'exercise' at all — is directly on-topic for someone fitting running around a lifting program, even though the video is framed around Zone 2 cardio broadly rather than running specifically.

Reviewer Correct take, but it's the headline without the article.

Moderator Answers a real, common runner question about whether and how heavy to lift, which sits right inside this sub-skill - it's about how strength work should be shaped for a runner, not lifting in a vacuum.

Moderator A runner lays out how they build a gym session: warm-up, work on aches and stiffness, activation and dynamic prep, plyos for single-leg stability, one main lift worked up over three sets, accessories, a finisher, all in about 45 minutes. Squarely lifting for runners, including the reassurance that gym work makes you more resilient, not heavier. It's one session outline rather than how lifting sits in your running week, and nothing in it is specific to women.

Reviewer Sound skeleton for a runner's lift day, but no exercises, loads or advice on fitting it around hard runs.

Reviewer Excellent, specific, professionally credible -- a genuinely useful progression.

Moderator This is specifically about using a progressive loaded strength program (heel raises with added weight) to safely bridge back into running after injury -- that's a genuine, specific instance of running-and-lifting interplay, even though the frame is rehab rather than routine programming.

Reviewer Solid, safe basics -- a runner could actually use this to start lifting without wrecking their legs.

Moderator This one earns its place -- they explicitly tell runners to lift on non-running or easy days, use high reps/low-to-medium weight to protect the legs, and hit 2-4x/week. That's the actual 'alongside' logic, not just generic strength exercises. Still mostly a squat/lunge/deadlift demo, but the scheduling guidance is exactly on-skill.

Reviewer Reasonable frequency targets, but padded with a supplement plug and light on specifics.

Moderator Directly framed as 'how to program your hybrid running+lifting routine' - covers picking your own weighting based on goals, training frequency targets for both modalities, and progressive overload as the shared driver. Solidly on-topic even though progressive overload section drifts toward general lifting theory rather than the run/lift balance specifically.

Reviewer Gives you a real interval to copy, even if it's light on the 'why' and the weekly planning.

Moderator Short clip, but it's genuinely about slotting a sprint session into a heavy strength block -- she explicitly says sprinting is a weekly staple in her program but had to be dropped temporarily during peak powerlifting training, which is exactly the tension this skill is about.

Reviewer Practical numbers a lifter can actually use.

Moderator Speaks directly to the audience of lifters wondering how much cardio to do, and lays out both the strength and cardio exercise guidelines side by side — genuinely about balancing the two.

Reviewer Too short to tell if there's real advice or just a hook.

Moderator Title is 'How to Balance Lifting and Running Effectively' - that IS the skill, verbatim. Nothing to second-guess on the topic match.

Reviewer Promises real programming advice but the runtime can't possibly deliver it.

Moderator Directly about combining lifting and running -- names the audience (gym-goers, weekend warriors, multisport athletes) and promises session-structuring advice. Squarely the sub-skill, even though the visible text cuts off right as it gets to specifics.

Reviewer Some good logic buried in a pretty unstructured personal vlog.

Moderator A sub-2:35 marathoner explaining how he sequences martial arts, lifting, and calisthenics around his marathon training without hurting it - this is genuinely the skill (balancing running priority with strength work), just delivered as a personal vlog rather than a structured lesson.

Moderator Quick tips from a run coach on how to balance running and lifting. That's exactly this skill and the right audience, though at about twenty seconds it can only skim the surface.

Reviewer Short and to the point on a real problem, but twenty seconds won't give you much to build a training week around.

Reviewer Good rationale and solid numbers, but thin on the actual logistics of combining the two.

Moderator Sims lays out three pillars for women 40+ — jump training, heavy resistance training, and sprint interval training — as parts of the same program. That's genuinely addressing how a running-type modality sits alongside lifting, though it's argued from a bone-density/hormonal rationale rather than practical scheduling (how many days, before or after lifting, interference effect). Touches the subskill without being a how-to guide for it.

Reviewer Clear, well-explained foot-strengthening exercises -- good teaching.

Moderator Foot/ankle strengthening exercises for runners -- this is strength work in service of running, which is close to the spirit of 'running alongside lifting', even though it's not general lifting programming.

Reviewer Good myth-busting soundbite, but no concrete plan here.

Moderator This is 'why hybrid training' framing and personal backstory more than a how-to for balancing running with lifting. It does directly address the classic fear that cardio kills gains, which is core territory for this skill, but the transcript we have is mostly narrative/motivation rather than actionable balancing advice.
