Someone asked recently about running and weight training and I thought I'd share how I blend the two.
Since I have started running fairly seriously I no longer get to the gym that often. However, I still want to be able to do strength training. For me the solution is the strength train after my run. At the park I go to there are many places to do chins, situps, and of course pushups. I can work my tibulus anterior in several good spots as well. What I was having some trouble with was doing good deadlifts.
Today I had the bright, though surely not new, idea to try to do cleans with a large rock. It took me a while to find an appropriate rock. It has to be large enough to be a challenge but small enough so that I would not overshoot and knock myself unconscious. I found a really good one with an awesome texture for gripping. I did deadlifts as well as some clean and jerk. It was fun and worked a lot better than I would have expected. It helps that the shoreline has 1000s upon 1000s of large rocks in every shape and size.

Are you certain that what you think are rocks that look like weights not actually weights that look like rocks?
