c25k & weight training

tritriagain

i have just finished week 6 day 1 of c25k and am really enjoying it. i always said i could never run for fun but am now after changing my mind. i am 6ft 4" 18 stone ex rugby player and am reasonably fit but want to lose my belly. i plan to keep uu the c25k and run 3 times a week and then to weight train twice a week and a long swim once a week. is this a good plan?
thanks in advance for any help

yeah seems good.

stick to the compound lifts when gymming. deadlift, bench, shoulder press, squat etc

thanks for prompt reply. i was also wondering when it comes to winter dark nights is it ok to switch from road running to track running for safety reasons. i would be doing one road run a week which would include hills but the other 2 runs will be in the park on the flat or around the local running track.

in my book running is running.

Keep the intensity at a nice high level, keep the duration up.

if you want to "lose your belly", got to clean up the diet that made you get the belly in the first place!
