I'll be turning 39 next year. As mentioned in one of the threads here before, I'm more into powerlifting, but one of the items on my bucket list is to finish a marathon, and I usually run 6 miles, or 10K max (I ran a half marathon once without training for it, and I thought I could run a full mary; but that was 7 years ago). I'm training for a full marathon, to be held 6 months from now, and I'm paranoid that I might lose significant upper body strength and muscle mass after the marathon.
Anybody who are in to both lifting and running? Should I be concerned about gaining full strength that might take longer? I'm currently 185 lbs, and wondering how much weight I'll lose after the marathon.
I know strength would be the last to go, but if it will take me a long time to regain the strength I have at this age, I might not join the marathon anymore.
