USC Marathon Team
Cross Training
In order to decrease injuries, increase performance, and provide a little variety in our training, we have added a cross-training session to our normal workout program this year. While it is optional, it is a superb opportunity to become a stronger runner, add upper body strength, increase cardiovascular capacity, and get nice and wet.
From 6-7pm on Friday, Chris will be holding an hour's XT circuit with a swim/dry land component at the Lyons Center Pool. We have the pool to ourselves, so it is somewhat private.
Here's what to expect/bring:
Friday will be a combination of a pool workout and some deck conditioning work.
The pool work out will focus on swim sets, kick sets and some hypoxic work (holding your breath) all of which will develop flexibility, endurance and lung-capacity.
The deck work will include some ab work and muscle conditioning.
Please bring a bathing suit, googles, swim cap, towel and clothes to wear on the deck (sneakers, shorts and t-shirt is fine).
Be loosening up on the deck at 5:50pm.
***Please be sure to bring "a valid student ID or staff membership card to gain access to the Lyon Center"*** That is your only way into the pool!
