Running gives you a feeling like no other sport.

When you’re done with that run, sweats pouring from your face, you can barely move, exhausted beyond belief, you question why you keep doing this to yourself.

You stumble up to your room, take off your clothes and hop in the shower. It begins.

The runner’s high.

There’s no other feeling in the world like it; besides maybe hard drugs but that’s for another discussion.

It’s addictive. It makes you want more. It makes you want that feeling indefinitely.

You may be tempted to run every day but don’t.

Cross train instead.

Cross training helps you avoid injuries and gain strength in other areas.

You may not have the same feeling cross training as running but it’s equally as important.

Swimming, biking, boxing, Yoga, basketball, lifting, etc.

Try getting off your feet and transition to using your arms more than your legs.

Swimming is a phenomenal exercise. It helps your lungs, form, arms, legs, focus, toughness, everything needed for running effectively!

Cross train 3 to 4 times a week. You may not get the same feeling as running but it makes you better.

The runner’s high cannot be replaced but it can be supplemented by other workouts.

Go have fun and try something new!

It will make you appreciate running more.
