Many Happy Miles: Cross Training Secrets from Endurance Coaches


Listen Later

Whether you’re training for a race or simply looking to stay active

and injury-free, cross training (XT) can be a game-changer. In this

episode, host Sarah Wassner Flynn chats with Another Mother Runner

coaches Liz Waterstraat and Jennifer Harrison, two seasoned endurance

coaches and triathletes, about the importance of XT and how to

incorporate it into your life.

The conversation covers:


  • what exactly qualifies as cross-training—and why it’s essential for runners;
  • how to sub in XT for runs without compromising performance;
  • creative and enjoyable XT options to keep training fresh;
  • using cross-training to prevent or recover from injury; and,
  • seasonal approaches to cross-training, including how it shifts during race training vs. the off-season.

  • Liz and Jen also

    share their personal favorite ways to cross-train, offer practical

    advice for balancing XT with running, and provide insight on how XT can

    enhance your overall fitness and performance.
