Pool Runnings

Deep water running for cross-training and injury prevention

Share

Running in deep water challenges your fitness without overstressing your joints. Do your body a favour by swapping out the concrete and plunging into the pool for your next cardio workout.

Imagine this: it’s six weeks until your first half-marathon and you’ve just been handed the runner’s death sentence: your physiotherapist has advised you to stop running. Your goal of making it even to the start line becomes very fuzzy almost immediately. An alternate activity to maintain your fitness and morale while rehabilitating is key. The unique properties of water make deep water running an excellent alternative.
