Thanks for the responses. I did my first NROL Break IN session last night. I warmed up by doing a mile of running. Then the Squats, Static Lunges, 2 point rows, push up and swiss ball crunches. I thought I could still do my normal routine of running after that. NO WAY. I started to run and my legs turned in to jello. I have been doing leg workouts and using the Squat machine at the gym. Obviously that workout was totally different then NROL. ITs the first time I have done lunges, so that may have been it.
It was a great workout, but I was really mad that I could not get my running in. Do you all think I should just run my mileage before doing squats and lunges? or is it possible I just did to much weight for my first workout? It seems tough but I completed all set and reps.
My legs may still be a bit dead from running 13.1 on Saturday, which was my first 2 hour run. Here is my running log, if anyone cares to look at it and see if they think I am doing to much or not enough.(

All in all this program makes total sense to me, even as a runner the exercises make more sense then isolation exercises like I had been doing for 11 months now with some gain in muscle mass, but seem to not get much stronger.
thanks for your help in my quest. The 1/2 marathon is not until March so I may just back down my running for a few months. I still want to hit my goal of 1000 miles this year and I am only about 100 or so away!!!
