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".

I agree with Fort. Swimmers definitly get in a "zone" I think the signature event is now the 400 IM. It is the ulitmate test of speed, versaility and endurance.
I would rather swim 26.2 miles than run a 5k. I know triathletes that skip swim days to run or bike cause of their disdain for swimming. I am willing to skip most things to go swim. It provides pleasure, peace and quite.
badnees, it's great that you love running so much and I hope you have a long running life.
