When you are training for any race is very important to know the benefits of cross-training. Running is a very intense activity that generates great tension load on the legs and takes its toll on the muscles, joints and bones.
With cross-training, we can prevent injuries and it can help us progress in our training.
But, what kind of training do you need?
Cross-training must be focused on working all the muscle groups that you can’t work out just by running and also to strengthen muscles. Swimming, cycling, spinning and even Yoga are very good complements for all of those who are planning a race.
