Cross Training

“Although running is a wonderful exercise and can easily be the central activity in your fitness regime - it is important to incorporate other types of as exercises as well - like core muscle exercises, floor exercises, upper body strengthening, etc

Alternating running with other activities like walking, roller blading/inline skating, tennis, hiking, cycling, etc is important to not only rest your running muscles, but to avoid boredom from setting in.”
