If I run or cycle late I struggle sleeping even if it’s not that late i.e. a 6:30-7 pm finish is late enough to impact on sleep. I assume this is endorphins and adrenaline Will weight training or core work/ body weight work have the same effect? |

That's brilliant i_w! No idea EP - evening training is not my favourite right now but when I used to do it it didn't bother me. |

I don't find doing a resistance session affects me in the same way as going for a late run would. In particular, I don't get restless legs from doing weights.

I'd tend to agree with V-rap. I often have evening athletic meets - comps - and I really can't sleep. Am a head hits pillow and I'm out sort of person as a rule. Anyway I KNOW this now so I get home, usally after a long public transport journey - have a hot drink, some small thing to eat, write a blog or report before even thinking about bed. Core or body weight work I would expect to be pretty good for sleep. Kind of a nice physical tiredness with a bit of luck, esp with a few enjoyable stretches afterwards. I don't make any great claims for stretching but it can be relaxing and feel good after an exercise session. |

Best thing is a warm (hot in my case) bath though! (I limit these though, for obvious reasons)

Very dumb question. My training plan says Stretches and Weights. I don't know what to do for that.
