running is NOT an alternative to weight lifting. they're two different things.
one builds muscle mass and strength, and relies on type 2 muscle fibers. the other is predominantly joint health and cardiovascular health and relies overwhelmingly on type 1 muscle fibers
thats why I do all three. i go to the gym every other day. between those days i run for an hour outside. and I commute everywhere by bicycle
U MIRIN BRO?
