Lifting on rest days: is it a bad idea? why?
I recently developed a pain in my hamstring (i think. it's
mostly centered in the groin, opposite my hip). I was
thining that not really get a "rest" day (although i still
take a day off from running every week) was causing problems
in my leg. I also have been walking in new shoes. maybe they
don't fit...
anyhow, lifting= bad?

Lifting on rest days is perfectly okay, if you only rest on
running days.

To me, rest means just that rest.

I lift the day BEFORE an easy or rest day. You've shredded
your muscle your muscle lifting, so let it repair itself ...

I'd say it all depends in how you do it. I know that lifting
on non-running days really helps me stay injury free. But I
don't do a lot of weight--just enough to strengthen key
muscle groups. Also, no more than 10 reps, as more may toss
you into overuse injury territory. Make sure you also have a
complete OFF (no running, no x-training, no weights) day in
your week . I figure if God needed rest on the 7th day,
that's good enough for me too. 🙂

If you must lift consider this. Lift before you run. Also,
maybe just focus on the upper body and core for the lifting.
This will put more endurance workout into your runs.
