She couldn\u2019t believe her eyes when she crossed the finish line nearly five and a half minutes faster than she\u2019d ever run a 10K race. Her season started like it always did with a challenge from her running buddies to race in her town\u2019s fall 10K. This year she wanted to focus on two goals, running pain free and to improve her time. She was successful in achieving both and here\u2019s how we did it.<\/p>\n

Variety is the spice of life.<\/h2>\n

I\u2019ve been an advocate of cross-training for runners for a very long time. Specifically the elliptical as it is similar to running in that it is weight bearing and moves through a familiar range of motion, but with no impact on the body. By shifting to three runs per week we were able to weave in two quality elliptical workouts, reduce the overall impact on her body and improve her recovery rate. In order for her to improve, we had to first develop a plan that allowed for optimal recovery so she could go into her runs and make the most of them. Alternating a running day with an elliptical day did this for her as well as providing a freshness to her program that kept the motivation flowing all season.<\/p>\n

Push hard with less impact on the body.<\/h2>\n

Initially, we used the elliptical for hard effort workouts to teach her how to reach outside her comfort zone without the impact on her body. She followed a 30-minute high intensity interval program on the elliptical machine where she alternated short intervals for one minute in a hard red zone effort<\/a>, with an easy yellow zone effort to recover. This boosted her fitness, her metabolism, and her mind\u2019s ability to push outside her comfort zone. It also established a wider range of fitness to transition to harder effort runs. Mid-season we began to transition her red zone intervals to her runs and swapped out one of her elliptical workouts to an easy recovery session. This allowed her to translate her running fitness to harder running with less stress on the body.<\/p>\n

Improve your form.<\/h2>\n

Another great resource the elliptical provides is the ability to focus on moving your feet quickly. In the running world this is known as your cadence, or the number of times your feet strike the ground. Research has found that on average, runners should stride about 90 steps per foot per minute. Many runners tend to over stride, taking big steps which can zap more energy stride for stride. We incorporated gliding elliptical workouts where the resistance and incline levels are low, and the goal is to move your feet at 180 strides per minute. Over time, she developed the neuro-muscular movement patterns on the elliptical as well as in her runs. This aided in developing a faster, more efficient stride, improved turn over speed, less energy expenditure and reduced impact on the body.<\/p>\n

Increase strength and stamina.<\/h2>\n

One of the greatest benefits to elliptical training is in working with the incline and climbing workouts. When using a climbing workout, it activates the gluteal muscle group, a common weak area in runners. The intensity of the climbing motion is similar to that of running hills, and develops leg and core strength right along with the fitness from working at a harder effort. It\u2019s different enough to utilize other muscle groups, but greatly compliments as it strengthens a runner\u2019s weak areas. She alternated every other week with a climbing elliptical workout, followed by a form-cadence workout to keep her program fresh and develop a wide range of fitness and skills.<\/p>\n

To recover is to improve.<\/h2>\n

As she made her way through the second half of her twelve week training season, her runs slowly transitioned to fast intervals, a hill workout and a longer slower run, while her elliptical workouts shifted to active recovery. Her program ebbed and flowed from a hard or longer run to an easy effort elliptical to allow her body to recover from the demands of the running workouts. In season\u2019s past, she made the common mistake of training in the same moderately hard effort for all her workouts, which left her tired, achy and stale come race day. By changing the flow of her training, her body was able to recover from the stress of the program, adapt and improve performance.
\nElliptical training is an incredibly useful tool for runners, especially those that are looking to improve their performance.<\/p>\n
