Must of been interesting. If you are addicted to running then what you can do is the P90X doubles routine. If you look inside your <a href="http://workoutjourney.com/where-can-i-get-the-p90x-workout-guides" rel="nofollow">P90X workout guide book</a> you will see a option for it. Basically you run in the mornings every other day and then do P90X at night. I did not run that much during P90X and was surprised how much stronger my legs did get during the 90 days. When I was done I could run just as far and a little faster than before. Biggest thing was my knees did not hurt as much as the leg workouts strengthened them. @ Betty

I've run a half-marathon (in Afghanistan of all places) before, but lately family life and an injured knee have restricted me to 6 miles a week if I'm lucky. I used to do P90X while I was deployed and did not complete the full 90 days. I want to start the program again and still be able to run my 6-8 miles a week. Is this something that you would recommend? Running is like therapy for me, it helps me keep sane when work and home become too much to handle. So it would be hard not keep running while doing P90X. Any advice would be great. Thank you. I just took up running again a few weeks ago.

I use to hate running and some how got into it. It increased my fitness level and I felt great. After finishing the Detroit Marathon I was looking for something new to do. Doing P90X and running was a big time commitment so I just did P90X and ran maybe 2 miles a week. After finishing P90X I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I could run just as fast and as far as before P90X. My legs were in way better shape from all of the leg workouts involved P90X. I would recommend doing <a href="http://workoutjourney.com" rel="nofollow">P90X</a> on its own and taking a break from running. I have met other people who had the same results as mine and all say that their legs were much stronger and had less injuries. @ DeAnna

I am intrigued, and am excited about using it as a Xtraining/strength training program to compliment my running schedule. I started running about 16 months ago. I'm the girl who failed P.E. in high school- hated it. But running has totally changed my mindset, and given me confidence. I do it for fitness, not necessarily for competition, times, etc. I'll be running my 4th Marathon in 2 weeks. My goal is to have completed 10 marathons within the next year and a half, so that means I only have 6 to go. When I first began running my fitness level sky-rocketed, and I got in amazing shape, but now I am ready to take it to another level and kick it up yet another notch. So...my question is, shall I run along with doing P90X, and just trade out running for the some of the cardio? My feeling is YES, but since I haven't done P90X I would love any advice you have to give. Thanks!!!! My husband wants to do P90X, and asked if I wanted to do it with him.
