The most effective training strategy is consistency, not necessarily the theoretically 'perfect' workout. While optimal scheduling might involve separating strength and running days, or having a significant time gap between them, the reality is that fitting training into one's routine is paramount. Prioritizing consistency over finding an elusive perfect schedule ensures that training goals are met, making the 'doable' workout superior to the 'ideal' one that is skipped.
