Hey
hardgainers. Sorry I haven't talked about some great ways to gain weight for my last few posts. I have been on and off with many different subjects, but right now I want to discuss with you a very important aspect of your training. Running.
How often should you run while you're trying to gain weight?
Running and gaining weight
Alright, so you want to gain weight, but you're worried about how much you're allowed to run. If you're trying to bulk up, running is still important. I discussed the issue with a Personal Trainer at the Gold's Gym in Salem.
Running and weight gain tips from a P.T.
The PT told me that running is a very important aspect of your training even if you're trying to gain weight. He said to eat a lot and he said to run 3 times a week and 20 minutes each time for a total of 60 minutes a week.
My advice on running and gaining weight.
The amount of time you should run can vary from person to person, but I think that three twenty minute periods every week should be about right. Running more is ok, but again,
the more you run, the more calories you burn. With that being said, if you decide to run more and you still want to make gains, make sure to eat more food.

This post is bogus. Your personal trainer friend is on crack if he thinks endurance running goes with bulking. When someone is trying to strictly bulk up, the best bet is to cut out cardio altogether. Since most people can't deal with that, it's best to switch to a HIIT cardio session at most twice a week for no more than 30 minutes each session.
HIIT promotes muscle growth and recovery, and does not cause the catabolic muscle burning response that endurance cardio does.
