In this video, I delve into the benefits of incorporating cross-training into your running routine to improve your overall performance. As a huge supporter of cycling, I discuss how you can effectively integrate cycling, rowing and cross-country skiing into your training regimen. I will guide you where to place these sessions in your weekly plan and at what intensity you should perform them.

Over the years I've experimented with different cross-training techniques at different intensities, even including cycling and rowing as hard sessions on interval days to simulate double-threshold workouts, similar to the methods used by Jakob Ingebrigtsen. I share my insights and experiences, but also those of top athletes who have successfully used cross-training to improve their running performance.

When talking about cross-training, it's essential to keep your primary goal in mind: becoming the best runner you can be. This means using cross-training to support and improve your running, rather than just adding extra volume or playing another sport.

In this video you will learn:
1. The benefits of cross training for runners.
2. How to effectively integrate cycling, rowing and cross-country skiing into your training.
3. Where to fit cross-training sessions into your weekly schedule.
4. The intensity levels to aim for during cross-training sessions.
5. Insights from elite athletes on how cross-training has improved their running performance.
