So i'm thinking about incorporating a few short runs into my training. But no idea how to go about it. I'm thinking maybe stay 3 miles or under/30mins so it doesn't interfere with my strength/power goals too much? Do you think this would be beneficial just for overall fitness? say if i ran 2 miles twice a week in under 20 mins, thats cool right?
ya that's fine. <= 30min running @ 3-5x/week shouldn't have any detrimental effect on your strength/power goals. It really depends on your pace though. If in that 30 minutes you're going 'max effort' (pushing lactic threshold), then it'll definitely be taxing. That's where you get max adaptations, which may be detrimental, especially from a recovery standpoint. It's fine to push it once in a while though.. If you're staying relaxed & under threshold, then it's pretty much on level with a warmup. You'll get improvements in general fitness without tapping into your recovery/cns fatigue.
Give it a go. Are you thinking about doing those runs prior to your lifting sessions? I prefer short sprints / reactive work pre-lifting. But, you can always throw in a nice 15-20min run then follow it with some short sprints etc, should have you feeling really good when you start lifting.
