Hey all!
Hello, I'm new. I'm working my way through the Bupa beginner half marathon plan (finished week 2 this morning ) and have a cross training day coming up in a week or 2. My friends say they go to the gym on that day but I don't want to join, for financial reasons amongst others.
I feel like I should be doing more to improve my overall strength and flexibility.
So I guess I'm after suggestions/links to decent cross-training routines/videos to be done at home for running that they would recommend for a beginner like me looking to build strength and increase flexibility?
Thanks all!

I use Youtube for yoga and core workouts. I would suggest you put in "yoga for runners" and try out some routines. As a beginner I would suggest Ekhart Yoga or Yoga with Adrienne, they both have suitable routines. I also use Sean Vigue, but some of his woouts are quite challenging.
There is a good little app called the 7 minute workout
There are manymanymany on the interweb, I know some who have got on really well with RebelFit and The Body Coach and Emily Skye is also good and she posts a lot of clips for quick workouts, Davina is usually good so I would say mix & match a few, pick those that work for you and see how you get on!
kinetic revolution is a great resource but it has targeted exercises, rather than an all over routine. It has in depth video clips on exercises to target specific weaknesses etc
I'll def have a browse of those resources guys, cheers!
Would also ditto recommendation for 7 minute workout.
Thanks everyone. Was taken out with an injury for a while there but am about to get back on it and going to try some cross training today. Thanks again
