      I am 18 years old and this is my current workout plan for the week:
      Monday: Upper Body, (Optional: run a mile)
      Tuesday: Lower Body
      Wednesday: Running (5K)
      Thursday: Upper Body, (Optional: run a mile)
      Friday: Lower Body
      Saturday: Running (5K)
      Sunday: Rest Day (or 5K if I was unable to do it on Saturday)

      Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

      Welcome to RMF! Thanks for setting out your week clearly.

      The schedule alone doesn’t tell us whether you’re overdoing it. Four lifting sessions and two runs could involve very different workloads depending on the exercises, number of sets and how hard you push each session.

      What’s your main goal: building muscle, getting stronger, improving your running, or a mixture? How long have you been following this routine?

      Could you also post one upper-body and one lower-body session, including sets and reps? Are your 5Ks comfortable runs or hard efforts, and how are you feeling by the end of the week?

      I’ve kept the discussion together in this thread so everyone’s advice is in one place. Looking forward to hearing more.
