Subject: RE: Run then lift or lift then run?glucose is less readily available either first thing in the morning (before breakfast) or after it has been depleted by weight training... Great if you are wanting to shred fat. Beyond that, here's what I suggest. If you are wanting to improve athleticism in general / gain muscle... you should lift first. Also, if you're doing olympic lifts (deadlifts, snatches, cleans, squats, etc) you should do them fresh to help insure form is correct. If your more interested in your 3sport training... obviously you should do this at your freshest, otherwise your results (ie. times when comparing/making out the next weeks training schedule) will be skewed by the fact that you are pre-exhausted. Probably best case scenario for a serious triathlete, train twice a day (morning/evening) when you do both and supplement/eat well.
