I would like to say that I am a runner who enjoys weight training. My main focus, especially in the summer time is running. I am currently rebuilding after injury and am back up to 15-18 miles per week. I am doing the MH Power Training program (3 day total body) on monday wednesday and friday, with my running split up on tuesday thursday and saturday. I am not looking to lose any weight, in fact, gaining a few wouldn't hurt. I am a 23 year old male, 5'9", 140lbs.

I am looking for some thoughts on a weight program. do you think that power training is the best program for me? So far i have followed it for 14 weeks and do enjoy it. It is my favorite program so far, but maybe there is something else out there you guys suggest I switch to for a while.

Any advice or experiences will be appreciated. Thanks everyone!
