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.

We have had several threads spiral out of control over the past few years; some posts so appalling that I (and I suspect some others) grabbed spouse to share the sense of shocked incredulity by reading the thread(s). Spouse responds "But why don't you just use Ignore?" Problem was most threads started out as interesting questions but mutated into lockout material before our very eyes. We lost quite a few people who do not post here anymore and I hope we don't go that way again.
