Hey everyone!
I'm doing a little statistical poll that compares one's average running mile time to their average swimming mile time. (I realize that is harder...because when we swim a mile straight--generally for us as competitive swimmers we are swimming it in a race and going for pbs...but what I am looking for is more like if you were to swim consecutively for an hour...how many miles would you get in swimming at a nice constant pace that you could withhold for a longer period of time.)
And then I would like to compare the level of fitness for your age that those respective would put you at...mostly I am interested in simply seeing the correlation between the two sports, because almost anyone would agree that cross-training is a positive aspect of your swimming regime.
My Data:
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Background: Swimming: competitive swimmer since 4th grade (swam in college all 4 years) Running: no competitive history really (just a few seasons of high school track) like to run...as a 7th grader ran a 6:23.04 mile in the presidential fitness challenge...haven't hit that mark again haha.
Swimming: 19:30minutes at a leisurely pace...I've never swam the mile in a meet.
Running: 7:40ish at the moment (hoping to bring that down to at least 6:50 over the summer)

I know you were poking fun.
When I drive my car in Canada I have to drive it metrically. I buy my gas in litres. In the US I drive it in miles and gas up in mini US gallons that are one fifth smaller then an Imperial gallon, the gallon we used to fill our cars up before we went metric.
A mile no matter where you live is still a mile.
At the trotter pacer track here in Canada they still race the one mile.
Kids in Canada do not know how many feet or yards there are in a mile.
In the USA if a kid wrote a test and said a mile is 1650 yards he would surely fail the test.
