Say what?
If you live in Santa Barbara, you have most likely witnessed one of our city's top runners cruising around town on a strange new contraption. Rusty, Joe, Drea... all of them have taken this new toy out for a spin up Old San Marcos. And when I say spin, I mean a push-as-hard-as-they-can-until-they-can't-push-harder-then-do-it-all-over-again-spin.
So what is this machine? Why would some of the most respected runners in Santa Barbara be wasting their mileage on it? It looks like an elliptical machine, but isn't that why we run: so we can stay out of the gym and off of man-made devices?
Yes, but runners also know the importance of cross-training to help prevent injuries. And what about when you do get injured or your joints are giving you pain? Do you trudge to the gym and spend three brutal hours in an air conditioned room that wreaks of sweat when you really wish you were outdoors hitting the streets and soaking up the vitamin D?
Ellipti-Go: "The Ultimate Cross-Trainer for Runners". Competitive runners, weekend warriors, injured athletes... this is the machine for every single one of them. It allows the runner to work the same aerobic systems he or she would normally condition while alleviating the impact training has on the body.
The Ellipti-Go is for anyone who wants a great challenge or who is rehabbing from an injury. There are even Ellipti-Go races! Check out our friend Drea's blog about the Ellipti-Go event she just competed in over in Colorado! After you finish the blog, check out Rusty's cameo on the Ellipti-Go video!!
