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.
Swim, then swim, and then swim some more. If we were meant to run we would have been born with runnunig shoes on our feet.
Like the dorsal and pectoral fins we were born with to help us maneuver through the water? :) ;)
Good to see you back posting; did you find Allen Stark's thread on the butterfrog controversy?
We were also born with ability to run very nicely, the brain to create running shoes, the cunning to market them, and the gullibility to buy them.
Do fish swim downhill?
