Weight Training for 5k
I lift 3X a week now down from 5X a week before getting heavy into triathlon training. Usually I will do chest on Mondays, Back / Shoulders on Wednesdays and Arms on on Fridays. Burning out my legs on weights hurts my swim, bike AND run so I avoid doing them for the most part. If on the rare occasion I do legs I always do light weight and high reps.
Best of luck!

Hello there Kim! It sounds like you have a good routine going! I lift weights 3 days per week. I run 3-4 days per week and I also take a kick boxing class 2 times per week. Sometimes I throw a Spin class or the elliptical in there to spice things up. --Deanna :)
