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".
George, that's a fascinating video. Thanks for posting. In slo-mo dialup, the orang seems to identify and look at the videographer, fleetingly.
Nobody knows why humans got down off trees and began loping across savannas, but it seems the idea of loping - short, quick sprints - got built in skeletally and neurologically, and we are still there!
Incidentally, physical anthropologists believe that human expansion out of Africa into Europe and Asia happened rather quickly, aided by two legs under us (rather than somewhat outside main frame) and curiosity. Our forebears were definitely on the road.
Back on topic, I guess I wouldn't rather be a runner. I'd rather be an astronaut (land, water, sky). LOL.
