As part of our Routines series, Sarah and Maggie chat with three mother runners about cross-training. Learn:

• what strength-training equipment is in their garage-gyms;
• the benefits of aqua aerobics for runners too young to collect Social Security;
• about one single mom taking up BMX bike racing in part because it scared her;
• more varieties of squats than you knew existed; and,
• why you should be stretching post-run in a pool!

Hear from producer-Alex in the intro; the first cross-training momma hops on at 13:18.
