1. Question for distance runners?

    I really want to commit to incorporate strength training into my fitness routine.  How many distance runners are strength training?  How often/how much time do you spend strength training a week? Do you avoid legs before long run days?  

    I worry that I’ll have sore/tired legs on my running days and that the time commitment will be too much once I get closer to my marathon.  Thanks!
