I will try to incorporate HITT into my running days, but will still purse one or two 3-4 mile runs a week. My main focus will be the weighttraining, and I have no problem sacrificing one or more running days for needed rest.

That being said, does it make sense to drop all push-ups and ab-work outside of the NRoL exercises? I would imagine that the NRoL workouts would be enough, but I still wonder about those that advocate daily pushups/ab-work.

Does anybody else supplement their NRoL routine with additional pushups or core work?

Any other suggestions and helpful feedback about my exercise/nutrition plans are always welcome and appreciated!

Glad to join the community.
I just completed NROL Strength 1 today. I too am 6'3", though about twice your age. I am not sure that at 165 lbs, fat loss is absolutely necessary. I would do the Strength routine. If you do it as written and progress with your weights, you will not need any extra pushups or core work.
