          no that won't be too much lifting. I usually lift in the offseason and when track starts I lighten my lifting schedule so I'll be fresh for the meets.

          There's no problem training 2x a day but unless you're getting in to some very advanced setups, I think your time would be better spent doing other activities than lifting twice a day. Remember, you're a track athlete not a weight lifter.
