Would you rather be a runner?

OK, how many people on here would rather be a runner than a swimmer, but due to injuries or something else have been forced to turn to a sport that has less impact on the body? I swim as cross training for running. I found that every day running did not work for me(although I would love to if I could) but 3 times per week does even with high mileage. I do love swimming and the feeling after a good workout, however, for me, it cannot compare to the feeling of running. It is so much more relaxing and provides better "thinking time than swimming".

  • And it's true, after 45 minutes or so you enter a zone, some call it the 'runner's high', that you will never experience swimming. Again, I love swimming, the great feeling after a swim, lots of things about it, but it cannot compare to running. Also, swimming doesn't have that signature event like running has in the MARATHON.:thhbbb: As I sit here in my motion control mizunos with custom orthodics, I am thinking that you are WRONG. lol You can definitely get into a zone in swimming. And we have a signature event: 50 free. :lmao:
