Runners--Cross training

Hello Runners!

I'm training for the 1/2 marathon with DH, and Tuesday is supposed to be our "cross training" day. What do you do? We need some fun suggestions--DH hates the gym, so it would be nice if it didn't involve the gym but we're both open to anything.

TIA!

Re: Runners--Cross training

For cross training I usually just go on the elliptical for 40-60 min.

Do you guys have bikes? You can ride your bikes on a bike trail? Or maybe roller blade (not sure if thats considered x-training but its not running at least)

Re: Runners--Cross training

i usually do my cross training on a bike (use the stationary bikes at the gym) for however long my training schedule says that week. I will admit, i sometimes skip the cross training and use those days as rest days.

ETA: which half are you running?!
