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 would actually love to be able to swim and run. They are both great, and when I have been able to do both I was in great shape. Unfortunately my shoulder has been very unwilling to cooperate for the last year and when I go to the pool I can't swim very much. So right now I'm preparing for a 50 mile run and only using the pool as a recovery for my legs. :toohurt:
