Running. Does it help your swimming or is it an interesting diversion? A lot of people here seem to cross train with running. (Some are obviously triathletes). USS teams now have their swimmers running. But does running really help swimming?
For me, I'm not so sure. I think it helps a bit on the cardio side and may build leg strength. I do it to tighten everything up, because I like being outside and it gives my shoulders a break. But I'm not sure I wouldn't be better off with more pool time if my body could take it.
I will continue to run, holding to my belief it has and is improving my swimming. Then again, I was in a swimming funk in 2005. I'd like to see the physiologist quotes that Terry is referring to.
Oh, and pigeon boy, I'll be in the locker room first all right, waiting for you to open your wallet and dole out the cash you owe me. And, this year, I won't look away pretending that wetness on your face is pool water when it's really your sad pitiful tears of despair!
scyfreestyler - you rock, killer.
