We all live for our sports. As runners, we run; as cyclists, we cycle. To us, it’s more than sport, it’s our identity and way of being in the world. However, repeating the same movements season after season can be grueling for our bodies and minds. Cross-training offers us a tool for keeping things interesting while developing better overall fitness to aid and maintain a competitive edge in our primary sport.

For cycling, a little bit of cross-training goes a long way, offering many benefits to cyclists of all levels and disciplines. 7mesh athletes Karsten Madsen and Mathieu Bélanger-Barrette, based in Pemberton and Quebec City respectively, strongly believe in utilizing cross-training as a way to become better, more well-rounded athletes.
