Saw this article today on The Race Club website. Since we have so many Texas Exes (GO HORNS beat SC!) on here, I was wondering what the opinions were on his comments.

At least good for some gripping discussion, Lord knows we need a good "spirited" discussion on here...

Matt,
I used to be a runner who also swam. I would run to swim practice even into my early 30s. I think that running definitely helped my lungs but I don't know about leg muscles. At Knox there was a better cross country program then swimming.
Now I swim & row. I really think that rowing has helped a lot, especially with my back & shoulders. Though personally, I think that cross-training is very individualistic and dependent on what the reason the person is doing the cross training.
