I opted to try out the elliptical machines at our school's gym this afternoon. Was glad I did. At the risk of sounding snooty, I always snubbed such machines, thinking that they're wimpy. Wrong. The nice thing was it really worked out my quadriceps big time, which are also my weakest leg muscles. I need to get those puppies stronger for the long downhills at Western States. Perhaps doing the ellipticals once a week or so could help.
Elliptical - 6.8 miles in 30 minutes.
Random hill setting.

I've always enjoyed the elliptical. Did you try moving the legs in reverse?
I tried it once. Kept falling off the damn thing. I'll stick to the pavement.
Most ellipticals that I've used have been at commercial gyms and the legs were a bit too wide apart for my liking. I only use 'em when I'm injured.
