Pheona Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 Just read an interesting article about resting between runs to allow muscle recovery and repair. What should I do on my non running day? Weight training? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoulter22 Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 I’ve always been told weight training is good on non running days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabapple Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Weight training would be good. Also, walking on at least two of your days off is good, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helvetica Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 I absolutely recommend doing some yoga, it's my number one tool for mind&muscle relaxation. It can also be used in strength training too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatless Marathoner Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Any kind of cross-training--something that uses muscles that you don't use in running: Yoga (calms the mind and body) Swimming - low impact, works every muscle in your body Resistance training of any kind - weight training, squats, crunches, etc. Tai Chi Walking (very different set of muscles than running) Think about getting ankle and/or wrist weights. Static stretching Foam rolling for aches and pains My go-to is fencing. (the sport) It's essentially a marshal art--an excellent full body workout, steadies the mind, and is great cardio!
