HIIT 30 Min Workout for Endurance Triathletes & Cycling Athletes

Perfect training for endurance athletes that can be done in the gym, at home, or even outdoors, either alone or in a group.

Tip #1 - Cross-Training Main Benefit

Cross-training for recovery is an excellent technique to recuperate from strenuous training sessions or lengthy runs. After a long run/bike or a particularly strenuous training, many runners take the day off.

Instead, nix DOMS by completing a half-hour of cross-training. You'll release your muscles, enhance blood flow, and prepare your body for the next run.

Tip #2 -Cross-Training Fights Burnout

Beginners and more experienced runners and cyclists may get bored or unmotivated to work out at certain points in their training. Cross-training can be a great way to get through those times when you don't want to work out and need an energy boost.. A few days off from hard training each week can help you get excited about swimming, biking or running again.

Fun Fact: If you ask 10 runners to cite a benefit of cross-training, at least 8 will say injury prevention.

Tip #3 - Cross-Training is Awesome Sauce

Cross-training can also be used to repair injuries, increase fitness, promote recuperation, boost motivation, refresh the mind and body during vacations from official training, compete in other endurance sports, and even keep fit during pregnancy.

Cross-training, gives you a huge advantage of injury prevention, and can also help you extend your endurance career.
