The history of improvements of performance in sports is paralleled by that of steps forward in nutrition, training practices, technique and kit. Here at Wiggle, we spend most of our time thinking and talking about the last; what are the key pieces that will enhance your enjoyment of your chosen sport? We – like most athletes – haven’t enough time thinking about training and training practices. That is, until now. As we expand our range of fitness and training products, we wanted to bring you some supporting content on how you can improve your performance, help prevent injury and generally help you be fitter, strong, faster.

As the examples above show, simply training by running, cycling or swimming can get you so far. It’s widely recognised that cross training is a great way to build you general strength. Plus is something to do when you get fidgety on you days off. This guide will take you through the basics.
