Can I cross train with jump rope? When I worked out at a boxing gym in college I became used to using a jump rope. It sounds like a low cost and easy way to cross train. Could anyone suggest how to cross train with jump rope? I have never cross trained and I wonder what impact it would have on recovery and run days
Why do runners overthink things so much? I suppose when the only sport they know is one where all you do is put one foot in front of the other foot and repeat for as long or fast as you can…
There is nothing to analyze about running. You just go and run. Any idiot knows how to run.
Yes, jumping rope is good for cross training. Wtf other answer did you expect? Why ask such a moranic question?
why ask how todo something Ive literally never done in my entire life? Because otherwise I would be a moron. Your response is so awful it couldnt be taken seriously even if it was correct

It’s probably not a useful way to *cross train* because plyometric exercises are too close to running and also involve impact stress. Running after all is repeatedly jumping on one foot. Cross training for runners is best done with non-impact sports like cycling or swimming. Sports like soccer or basketball that involve running can help train in ways peripherally useful to running but don’t relieve impact stress and are not very useful for recovery periods or during periods when you can’t run because of an injury.
If recovery or injury is not your primary concern, jumping rope or other plyo is great for developing more explosive strength in muscles used for running.

Cycling can very quickly become a very high-impact sport.

Oh yeah, going by this year’s Tour for sure. :)
Isn't the whole point of jumping rope for boxing to get quickness in your feet? Part of this is by not jumping too high. The gravitational constant lets you take more steps if you stay low.
That might be good for sprinting but for general running.
