Swimming And Running...

Just curious on what your opinion is on running during swim season. I had a coach one time tell me that it did more harm than good to run while training for swim because it reversed what you do in the water. Have found no evidence of this...

    I use it as a means to an end. First, it helps me get a little leaner, slim down. Second, good for more cardio. Being middle distance I found that it helped me quite a bit in my training up to Nationals last Spring. Also, it breaks up the monotony of just swimming and drylands, especially when the weather is nice. That being said, I only run a couple times a week, maybe three times in a big week. I'll go for about 30 min-hour a session
