Rest Day Guilt and Cross-Training Ideas.

Mave May 2012 9:09am, 17 May 2012 47 posts	0 Mave How about pilates? I do pilates on my rest day and its great for strengthening core and working flexibility back into places that running really screws up like the hamstrings. I think its made a huge difference to my running. You can get decent DVDs of it if you don't want to join a class.

Got something to say?
