One question? What do you do for "cross training"?

With cross training, you can do one form of exercise each day, or more than one in a day. If you do both on the same day, you can change the order in which you do them. You can easily tailor cross-training to your needs and interests; mix and match you sports and change your routine on a regular basis. So for example: since you are training for a marathon then your running alot - so on the days you cross train you can:
Cardiovascular Exercise: (Think about adding three different exercises from the list below):
Running
Swimming
Cycling
Rowing
Stair Climbing
Rope jumping
Skating (inline or ice)
Skiing
Racketball / basketball / other court sports

Strength Training:
Calisthenics (push ups and crunches and pull ups)
Free Weights
Machines
Tubing and Bands

Flexibility: (stretching, yoga)
Speed, agility, and balance drills
Circuit training, sprinting, plyometrics and other forms of skill conditioning
