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".
NO!!!!! I have run almost my entire life and still do every other day. Started swimming (ok learned to swim and how to put my face in the water) 3-4 years ago. I can say without a doubt, you do not have to ask me twice to go for a swim. I would rather swim anyday of the week.
Swimming is the only thing I can do for hours without an ddistional distraction, i.e. musi. I run, lift and take spinning with music if the music is bad, I walk out of spinning class. I leave my portable sirius radio at home, no running. And even at that, I turn the tv set on the treadmill and use my sirius radio during a run!!!!
But, swimming-get out of my way, I am jumping in the pool!!!!:applaud:
Swimming just feels awesome!
