As little as 15 years ago elite runners were not using cross training to maximise recover time and minimise injury chances.
The purpose of cross training is to either work the same muscle group in a different way, e.g. cycling instead of running or to even use different muscle groups altogether. BUT WHY?
Have you come across those who, however hard they workout they don’t seem to be able to move forward and make progress? This may be you…
It just happens right? You breath in and out and go about your day – wrong!
In my experience the best results have come from training with a friend, colleague and generally someone who has similar goals to you. For me it’s definitely a must. There are plenty of reasons why this is the case and I have been seriously training for about 8 years now. I still have holidays from training and I enjoy food and wine as much as the next person but following the 80:20 rule for the majority of the time I have gained the biggest results by having a training partner.
It was day 5 the last time I blogged on this subject, so as today is the halfway point I thought it timely to give an update of some of the interesting findings so far, most of which will probably not be a surprise, but one may.
