ElliptiGO - Great Cross Training for Runners




"It's a brilliant cross-training tool for me."

 
"I think the ElliptiGO is the perfect cross-training tool for running. It uses very similar muscles, but I am also being able to recruit other muscles, which is really important.  High-mileage training weeks can become tedious, repetitive and sometimes a bit boring, so the ElliptiGO gives me a fun way to build strength and fitness while giving my body a break from the pounding." 

About Karen:
Karen is an elite marathoner from Australia.  She has won several major distance events this year, including the Rock 'n’ Roll Mardi Gras Marathon.  Her typical training regimen includes 80-100 miles of running per week.  Karen uses the ElliptiGO to reduce the wear and tear on her body and tends to substitute an ElliptiGO workout for her normal post-race recovery workout.
