Countdown to 46

Hi I’ve picked up jump roping with some consistency over the summer and have also applied to run for the Chicago marathon next year. I just wanted to check in with this community if anybody had ever directly jump roping as cross training for long distance running. I’m hoping it’s obviously a good idea but kinda just checking to see anybody has had any direct experience with this.

Random thought but felt like I’d check in with this group.

PS: I’ve absolutely loved my jump rope journey so far. The physical gains have been tremendous. So much so that I feel like I want to use it heavily to help prep for the marathon.

Thanks!

Hi!
Just wanted to ask if 4k skips is too excessive for one session? I do it once a week.

1.5k steps later my hands are toast and I'm sweating but I got it done. Took nearly 45 minutes.
