history: I'm a powerlifter so I focus most of my time exercising lifting weights. A friend of mine just recently introduced me into marathon running and boy, I didn't expect to like it as much as I do. I exercise often but as a powerlifter I do very little cardio and never really had much interest in it. A friend of mine introduced me to marathon running and wow_comma_ I like it much more than I anticipated! I'm glad you've found a change of pace. It's really nice! Definitely can't compare to powerlifting_comma_ but it's enjoyable nonetheless and it's healthy.
current: Of course it is. I'd say it'll benefit each other.
next: Sure will. I plan on continuing both as long as the cardio doesn't interfere with my strength levels.
