The way Goergl operates shows how important it is to see cross-training as more than just two different kinds of training but mixing forms of training that work well together. It's sort of like cooking when you think about it.Emmet Ryanhttp://www.action81.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004808233977332633.post-7832454894370042342011-02-11T10:16:50.940+00:002011-02-11T10:16:50.940+00:00@ Emmet - The difference in training must be huge,...@ Emmet - The difference in training must be huge, I know they are both about endurance at some level but just thinking about the body frame resulting from training alone? Good point about trying to find things which match and aid your musculature - development. Not to mention attitude, I think that's why Goergl has it right as both boxing and skiing are about individual strength and power. <br /><br />@ Snowcatcher - it does indeed! no matter what im doing at work, it always helps to get out there and do something physical. I can't imagine singing in front of such a large group of people, definitely multi-talentedniamhhttp://www.niamhgriffin.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4004808233977332633.post-57016499489979620982011-02-10T20:58:37.772+00:002011-02-10T20:58:37.772+00:00Must cross train!

Wo...Must cross train! Sports make the body happy!<br /><br />Wonderfully informative post!

Aside from the different kind of physical impacts on the body, the real problem was the radical difference in the type of conditioning each sport required.<br /><br />American Football is all about a repetition of short, fast burst. It's heavily stop-start based as opposed to the continuous action of marathons.<br /><br />In both years I suffered season ending injuries that hindered my efforts in the marathon. In my third and final season playing American Football I focussed exclusively on that during the season and then switched to marathon training once the season was over. The difference in my health was dramatic.<br /><br />Those looking at cross training should try to find sports that pair up well, where what you are doing in one improves you ability to perform in the other.Emmet Ryanhttp://www.action81.comnoreply@blogger.com
