I have a couple of questions related to building cross training workouts into my marathon plan. I would love to do some of my interval days on my spin bike rather than running, as I’ve learned this helps me prevent injuires. I looked through other threads on the forum and found the recommendation to use the workout wizard and select cycling options - however I’m not finding a cycling option in my workout wizard. Can someone point me in the right direction to find this. Adding those to the mix would be a wonderful game changer.
My other question is if anyone has found a good way to write CrossFit into their plans. I typically go to 2-3 classes per week and would like to make these my strength workouts, however I prefer to clock these workouts as cardio on my watch, since I like the metrics best that way. I am experimenting with adding it as cardio modality and selecting strength for the session aim. I’m good about pulling back on weight/intensity to support my running needs so plan to continue this through much of the marathon training (I’ll back off as needed in the month or two prior).
I really embrace cross training, however I’m not sure the best way to build it into my Athletica plan. Suggestions are welcome.
