14 yrs old, wow bud that's pretty young, as far as running and working out, I beleive cardio is the precursur to any workout. It's great to get that heart pumping then hit whatever it is your doing to build strength. I personally believe that 14 is to young to be lifting but others will disagree so as always do what you feel is best maybe consult somebody close to you. Another great way to stay in shape and not have those incidents where your weight changes that drastically is to have a partner. Workout partners are essential to any training. He OR she will is a major component in motivating you to stay in shape and vica versa.
