Cross Training?

Question

What are some other ways to cross train besides swimming and biking?

Answer 1

try doing this stretch a lot and i mean A LOT do  of normal work outs like squats, sit ups, push ups (trust me u use ur arms alot because of swinging motion make sure when u run swing ur arms forward and back not side to side)drink alot of water and eat alot of bananas and especially run but dont run without something like a  mp3 play some motivating music,  with someone u can go alot farther and u can push each other ,but the best is Indian sprints i went 8 miles in that when i would usually pass out at 5.

Tip: if Ur doing cross country u cant have a mp3 so stick witha team mate and if ur first play a song in ur head ( dont sing it out loud)

ive been doing cross country for 3 years

try acrobat, well, pretty much sure that not your kind will try this one but, why not give it a shot. just for a change. your body will become more flexible.

Answer 3

Running, stair climbing and doing hill intervals. Do atleast 50 crunches a day. Do stretches and squats and lunching.

Answer 5

For runners... I enjoy soccer and surfing. Both require and or build stamina.

Oh I know this is biking but MOUNTAIN biking is also great.

I have both a road bike and a mountain bike and doing one when you are tired of the other is way more of a "change of pace" than you think!

GOOD LUCK!
