"It's a brilliant cross-training tool for me."
"I think the ElliptiGO is the perfect cross-training tool for running. It uses very similar muscles, but I am also being able to recruit other muscles, which is really important. High-mileage training weeks can become tedious, repetitive and sometimes a bit boring, so the ElliptiGO gives me a fun way to build strength and fitness while giving my body a break from the pounding."
	About Karen: Karen is an elite marathoner from Australia training for the 2012 Olympics. She has won several major distance events this year, including the Rock 'n’ Roll Mardi Gras Marathon.
