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".
Best of both, I had a great deep water run today, water temp 77, air close to 80, no one else in the pool, no cars whizzing by, very nice for cross training-sometimes you just don't feel like a swim or a run.
