Cross Training

[Deleted User]

I've picked up a hip injury through doing too much too quickly in training. I've had it before and I'll have to rest for at least 1 week - 10 days before running again. Is there any way I can stay more or less on schedule by doing something else in that time, e.g. swimming or cycling ?

I think that cycling etc will certainly give you cardio-vascular benefits and stop you losing too much condition but the only thing to prepare your body for running for long periods is to run for long periods.

Try some cycling on stationary bikes, that way you can mimic some speed sessions. Not sure how that would affect your hip so take it easy.

Roger - do some pool running, either with or without a flotation belt
