Maybe a routine of pushups, situps, pullups, squats, etc. could benefit you as well.</p> I’m also a big fan of body weight exercises.

The reason I’ve not thought about weight training is because the only time I can exercise is at 5:30 am, and the local gym isn’t open that early. Maybe I should get some free weights and work out with them in the garage a couple mornings per week. Something to think about, anyway.

Just google for pictures of famous medium to long distance runners and you'll see what I mean.</p> <p>To maintain muscle mass when I lost weight I weightlifted about twice a week, and it worked great. I just did 30 minute full body sessions, nothing fancy. Besides maintaining muscle mass, resistance exercise like weightlifting is good for your bones and will even help with your running. :)</p> In my experience, runners aren’t very muscular.
