080: Should I Add Cross Training to My Running Schedule?
Mar 21, 2019
We believe that cross training is important for every real life runner. It helps you to get in better shape, train muscles that you don't normally train while running, and increase or maintain cardiovascular fitness if you are injured.
Running-specific types of cross training: pool running, elliptical, ElliptiGo
Other cross training: swimming, cycling, hiking, stair climbing, yoga, pilates, fitness classes, weight training, strength training
We believe that adding cross training to your weekly schedule has significant benefits. Try out a bunch of different types and see what you like!
