Ive been strength training the past 3 years but ive always been active primarily in running/swimming. My weekly schedule consists of:

Monday- full body gym + 30 min hyrox cardio inspired finisher + 1km pool swim

Tuesday-4km swim

Wed- same as Monday

Thursday 15-17km run + 1 km swim

Friday- same as Monday and Wednesday

Sat- 17-20km run

Sun- 4km swim

Stats: 22f 169cm 52kg. Steps 20k +

Also some yoga and Pilates classes through out the week

I feel as though I’m not progressing in my lifts as much as I could be but I’m addicted to this training lifestyle. I prefer cardio/endurance based sports in terms of enjoyment but would like to gain muscle from a body composition point of view.. thoughts appreciated!

I know it’s probably not ideal- I know technically they can , but I’m afraid I’ll burn out or get injured more easily. I also strength train 3 x a week and swim 2 x a week (4km). My runs range from 15k-18k, but only twice a week. I know shorter intervals would probably help my pace more which would be a bonus but I mainly just run because I find a “long run” relaxing and enjoyable.. any thoughts or experiences ?

I’ve recently added Pilates into my week. I gym (strength train full body) 3 x a week, run 2 x a week (15-17km each run) and swim 2 x a week (4km each swim) . Additionally I do 2-3 mat Pilates classes.. which I’ve been scheduling on the same day as my run or swim days. So far it’s been okay but my recovery from lifting has been slower and I’m not sure wether it’s interfering with my potential to lift heavier due to fatigue and not recovering properly due to the Pilates .. or it could be the running? Either way, any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated!! Thank you
