"Cross" is of course, cross training which would mean swimming, yoga, biking/spin, and of course strength training. Being a PT, Sean would KILL me if I didn't have strength training. "Pace" I've always assumed to be "marathon pace" so that's what I do. Which for me this year is an attempted 9:30 or less minute mile so I try to run these, especially the shorter ones, at 9/mile.
