I lift weights for upper body year round, but since I'm running and biking
more in the spring and summer I tend to slack off on doing any leg work in
the gym. I just started back to my late fall/winter lifting, and am doing a
10K next Sunday. My question is, is it advisable to do leg work (presses,
curls, squats, calf raises, hip abductors and adductors) and then run a race
a few days later? I did my leg work Wednesday after putting in about 4.5
miles Tuesday, did 10K this morning and my legs felt a bit "heavy" at the
start, but then loosened up. Avoid the leg work this week, or do it and
stretch more, or possibly do a light run the day after? Advice? Thanks.

Depends how important the race is to you. If it's a big one, and you're
expecting a PR then I'd suggest no weights in the last 4 days before the
race. But if you do that for every race, you won't get any training in. That's
the tradeoff you're faced with.
I would tend to pick a couple of "goal races" in fall and spring, and taper
for those, but train through the others.
Cheers,

I would avoid the leg weight work.
I would ONLY do some light knee extensions,
very light, once a week, at most.

I'll be watching the replies closely.
I was just about to ask the same questions.
I have always had strong legs. I have ridden horses since I could walk
and been running for about 26 years.
I was off for a long time just getting back into it over the last 6
months.
My gym routine alwyas includes a leg routine...switched up with upper
body.
Should I really cut out my leg?
Thanks for any advice...I'll go back to lurking.
