. with

By Doug McLeod
Contributing Writer

IN preparing for the
1997 Lions Gate
Hospital 9-}-1 Relay it
takes a certain amount
of discipline on your
_ part to ensure a fun,

safe and pain-free event.

Whether you are a beginner
to running or a seasoned vet
countess kilometres
under your feet, you should
consider the many benefits of
cross-training.

Since running is one of the
toughest sports on your body

“when it comes to injuries, it
4 only makes sense that staying

‘i jery free will allow you to be
a better runner.
~ When you tain for 9-1-1]
Relay, cross-train smart. Here’s
. how.
Simply stated, cross-training

~ is the process of participating in

‘many activities that will heip
improve the specific that
-you are training for. This theo-

-ry became. law when. triathletes
“came on to the scene in the

1980s. Simply put, by exercis-
ing your body in many different
- kinds of activities, you can help
‘prevent overuse injuries associ-
ated with running.
Recommended activities to
help you with your running
times are:
3 Cycling — Road or moun-

s Sth annual event set for Sept. 21

tain biking will help improve
cardiovascular conditioning,
muscular endurance. Also, the
non-impact motion of the cir-
cular pedal stroke is easy on
your joints.

Swimming — This activity
will also help with cardiovascu-
far conditioning, plus the resis-
tance of the water on your legs
is very therapeutic. Ask an
attendant at the pool about
pool running (an activity that
mirrors the movement of run-
ning but in water; used for
injury prevention).

Inline skating — Great
cross-training for many sports
if you can skate! Get an instruc-
tor to teach you how. If you
can skate, pick an area that is
safe and traffic free. False Creek
seawall and the Stanley Park
seawall are good for beginner
or intermediate skaters. If you
are comfortable with hills, the
Seymour Demonstration
Forest is excellent.

Weight training — A great
way to build up muscular
endurance and prevent muscu-
lar imbalances, While vou are in
the gym, don’t overlook the
stairmaster; it is a great way to
prepare yourself for a run.

More tips to come.
