AM - 30 minutes on the elliptical. PM - 30 minutes of pool running with Jake. Lots of nutrition arguing and training talk.
Great post by Maximum Performance about Frequency. I like how he stresses not to add mileage/days of running very quickly and that it's a slow process to get the body to adapt to more mileage (something I screwed up)...I really like his point at the bottom (although I think cross training is the smartest thing to do sometimes when the body can't handle so much running yet!) - Note: It is also important to note that running is a very specific sport, in which we use certain muscles fibers at certain intensities and in certain ways. Other cross training exercises, while maybe good in general for increasing heart rate and general fitness or generally working muscle groups, will not specifically work the exact same muscle fibers in the exact same way as you do in running. This means they are somewhat poor substitutes for developing and training these muscles in the ways we need to use them in running. Running is still and always will be the best way to train for running.
