Running is probably one of the hardest activities to start next to swimming... my team swims 3 times a week and that's it... (feeling a little burned out too)... BUT, I'd like to start running - and was wondering on if you guys have any tips.
I've googled it a bit and a lot of people say to start slow - walk a majority of the time and run in little spurts and build up from there.
Anyways, fellow swimmers - any other advice to give?

Get a floaty belt and do some running in the pool...the fast lap lane is a good place for this... ;)
I'd say think about any injuries you've have before you start.
If you suffer backaches etc.
Get good shoes.
