Karen I also took my dog out for a 2 mile run yesterday. Kind of an announcement to myself that the taper is over, time to get back to work!! The dog was happy too. She did not like my taper!
I have always felt that running helps swimming, swimming does not help running. When my son comes off of soccer season and gets back to the pool in the fall, he does not seem to have lost a lot. His technique needs a little work to get back, but his cardiovascular conditioning and strength are usually good from all the running. When he goes into soccer from swimming, he is in a lot of pain and soreness the first week! He is learning to run all summer to avoid that in the fall.
