If the kettlebells are used appropraitly there is significant carryover. In one instance I have a friend who completed a 1/2 marathon having done no running in preparation, just a steady diet of longer duration kettlebell sessions.
In the post I share my opinions of a weekly training schedule, & how the incorporation of kettlebells can be used for a 1/2 or full marathon prep. For disclosure I have completed the distance on a number of occasions, so it’s not a total shot in the dark.
