It's a very baffling back and forth. But I don't really want to give away the answer because I am curious if it keeps going and people something even more stupid.
So what is cross-training for runners that doesn't involve any running? Checkers?
Definitely interested in how running on a treadmill is ‘cross training’.
Might be one of the strangest ideas i’ve ever seen on these boards
Reading that post about treadmill running as cross training made me blush. Guess not everyone has been involved in a sport before.
Its a nice reminder and demonstration that you cant take every claim serious, and not even entertain them by given them an argument. Its quite interesting how this void of knowledge goes hand in hand with black and white claims said with absolute confidence. Eye opening indeed.

The treadmill was described as part of Valby's cross-training. Elliott did weight training as part of his. So for the self proclaimed "experts" here, what is the cross-training that substitutes for actual running for top runners?
It's a method that has been around for years - and not just for Zatopek. Training isn't sending a rocket to the moon; the principles are quite simple - or most runners (who aren't that bright) wouldn't understand them. The same with "nutrition", which is little more than eating healthily. Athletes and coaches have known what works for decades. But they have clearly found something that works even better. It's called doping. And what they put on their feet is nothing compared to what they put in their bodies. Fans are naive beyond belief.
speeds are increasing across the board at every level.

If your primary sport is running and then you are running wheres the ‘cross’ in that training?
Think for a minute as to what activities would be similar YET different and would supplement or allow you to improve an aspect of running without a component or mechanic of running
pretty sure there’s a sport that combines three exercises, 2/3 of any of them could count as cross training for the third.
dont worry though, everyone in that sport is doping as well :)

So you can't say what "cross training" runners would do. So coy. Or you have nothing convincing to offer.
For someone who "knows nothing" about sport I was a school swimming champion, athletics champion (track and discus), cross-country champion, state indoor basketball representative, Tae Kwon Do exponent to one level below black belt, a boxer who as a middleweight was the sparring partner to the national heavyweight champion, and later a champion tennis player. Oh, and I frequently "cross-trained" in the gym with weights and calisthenics.
I've also known pro athletes and coaches. But you guys are all the experts here. I feel like Gulliver would have felt when he was in Lilliput.

whoa calisthenics? well well let me put down my cup of Sanka.
Biking, Swimming, Elliptical, Stairclimbers, etc
Triathlon was the mystery sport ftom the previous post btw

You are too kind.
At least today the Tae Kwon Do exponent to one level below black belt has learnt something.

What an irrelevant digression. No runner reaches the top on cross-training. They have to run. But you wouldn't know anything about success.

Nice of you to quote your post and admit it's an irrelevant digression.
No one is saying a runner doesn't need to run, Gulliver. You just show your ignorancw again.
Cross-training is used as a complement or an alternative when injured. See Valby, for example, or Rupp with the aqua jogging.
Perhaps you could tell us how many top distance runners based their training on a treadmill and not the roads, cross-country or track.
Ingrid Kristiansen trained on the treadmill during the (long) Winter.
So that constitutes cross-training, when it isn't possible on the roads or track. It is alternative training, which fits the definition. But I thought I asked for "how many (thus a decent number) top runners" trained that way. You come up with one woman runner. No male African, American or British Olympic champions - but someone who lives amongst snow. How surprising.

Not from you or your fellow intellectual Lilliputians.
Typical response from a narcissistic sociopath. You feel so superior, this picture really shows how you see yourself. But your ignorance has been exposed, again.
