What kind of sports do you do to cross train in the summer?

Question

Jessie Diggins · Answer

This is the super fun part. We get to do so many things. Cross-country skiing because it's so aerobic, anything that gets your heart rate going really works as great cross training. So in the spring, I do a lot of dance classes, which I very much enjoy. In the summer we do a ton of trail running. We also do a lot of gravel biking, sometimes swimming when it's really hot. And of course, a lot of roller skiing to train for cross-country skiing in the summer.

In the cross-country world, I would say I'm the queen of cross-training. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing, but I get injured a lot, just training the repetitiveness of just ski training. And so I love to do cross training. And I also grew up playing so many sports. And so for me, I think cross crew training, makes it really fun, keeps it really fun? I got to do a lot of sports that I still love and keeps my body really happy. So for me I haven't been able to run for three and a half years due to IT band issues. So I've been mountain biking, a ton of gravel biking, which I think is really fun and really great cross-training for skiing, and low impact on the body. I like to swim. I like to Surf and play beach volleyball, which is, may be unusual, but good speed, power and strength. And we also roller ski. I do strength training. I do a little bit of running that it when I can do it and try to think, oh, I used to play basketball a lot. So, when I have some friends, I like to shoot hoops, I think it's the best strength warm up out there. So I highly recommend that but I think just developing different skills and different muscle groups and challenging yourself athletically is so good for developing as a skier and so I would say my main. Yeah, I do it all, but I like to tie it back to skiing skills if I can and sometimes it's just for fun or to keep the muscles fresh and and happy.

What kind of sports do you do to cross-train in the summer? So most Nordic skiers in the summer, we'll do a lot of roller skiing running and strength training and I would say those are kind of the basics for every cross-country skier. I know a lot of people also like to swim. I love to do a lot of mountain biking in the summer, but I would actually say one of my favorite sports to do for cross-training, which isn't in the summer, is playing hockey and living in Alaska. They have a lot of Great Outdoor rinks there. And I'll go with my I team and we'll just get some pickup games going. I think it's a great workout. It's great to just work on your athleticism and it's also super fun.

What kind of sports do I do to cross-train in the summer? Pretty much all sports. I will log in my training, any like, aerobic sports, but specifically, I like to run and mountain bike for a while. I was doing Motocross which I kind of got out of a little bit, but that was fun. I mean, the options are kind of endless. I think a lot of those things you can use for aerobic stimulus just as well as skiing and maybe you. Get so much of the muscular specificity, but I would encourage people to cross-train and do things that they find her phone because I think those are, if you're having fun that's going to be effective training.
