Cross Training & FIT4MOM

Running is a repetitious sport that relies on the same impact-based movement over and over, working the same muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints. Even with proper form, running can overwork parts of your body and lead to injury if not balanced with appropriate rest, active recovery, and cross-training.

You’ll notice your weekly plan includes two days of cross-training, which is defined as alternating between several training styles. This allows you to include various training styles to achieve even more significant benefits and provide the most well-rounded progress possible. For our training program, we invite you to include body strengthening on the cross-training days to help offset running four times a week.

IN-PERSON CROSS TRAINING

If you're looking for an in-person class to add as your cross training, we highly recommend Strides 360 or BODY BOOST. Both of these classes will help you gain the strength + agility needed to run.
