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.
For the record, I can kick your tail in every facet of a tri (and I highly disagree with the train hard or go home sentiment. I prefer to train smart, but that might be expecting too much from you!).
Well, I have no doubt that is true. Maybe if you show up in Atlanta we can settle it in the pool, or will your widdle wunning wegs be too sore from your jogging to get to the ATL?
