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.

Besides, do we have any choice in the matter? Someone's gotta wash all those towels and running shorts and whatnot. Gotta go cross train.
:laugh2:
i'm going to think of cleaning my condo and other such chores as cross training. it's a whole new sport! we'll call the main fitness event the "Great American Chores Games"
