Alternative workout

Workout: easy 1h biking, or 45min cross trainer (elliptical machine in the gym), zone 1

What is the goal of this workout?

1. Improve your aerobic shape
2. Reduce impact: With every ground contact during running, your legs experience a shock equal to 2.5 times your body weight. The accumulation of all your steps during running thus results in a considerable load. Therefore, substituting running for cycling or a cross-trainer from time to time will allow your leg muscles, tendons and bones to recover more as these forms of repetitive movement produce no impact.​
