Moin, ich hatte ein bisschen Zeit zwischen zwei Terminen und hab ein Casino getestet, das spezielle Angebote für belgische Spieler hat. Die ersten Drehungen auf spinmama waren enttäuschend, aber eine Bonusrunde hat die Stimmung ziemlich schnell verändert. Danach war das Ganze richtig unterhaltsam. Gute Wahl, wenn man ein paar Minuten überbrücken muss.

I'm still pretty fat. Maybe the full will happen when I take care of that.

Why stop half way? Go for the full.

I'm guessing you'll want to stay in the 8-12 rep range then and not really try for a max effort. You might want to possibly follow a hybrid of SquatEveryday where you have a quick squat session - maybe 3 sets of 12 and then do 1/4 mile of walking lunges. That will get you some oveall strength and crazy endurance from the lunges. However you'll have to play with it. Here's a great article on squatting for distance running: athleticlab.com/.../

That's an excellent question. I want to squat the max amount that won't slow down my running, whatever that may be.

Dustin - I should ask, how much weight do you want to squat?

what is some strength? are you talking 2.5x your body weight ? Do you have specific goals?

You can always squat and run. What you are trying to accomplish will make a difference

In my opinion, for a casual athlete, leg strength will help, not hurt your running efforts. There are elite CrossFit guys who are trying to squat 500# and run a sub 5-minute mile on the same day. Now granted that's not a 1/2 marathon, but it's also crazy to think of. I personally feel like I can run faster and farther when I have been squatting regularly.
