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...

A typical run right before swim practice for us is anywhere from 6-8 miles... Then we're in the water for 2,500-3,000 of drills and sets. A lot of us are triathletes, so I suppose it can be chalked up to part of the normal training regimen... The same as group rides after Saturday practices.
This is not part of the Masters workout; it's something that some swimmers opt to participate in.
Does it help? I don't know. Does it hurt? I can't answer that either. Is it nice to have two solid hours of vigorous physical activity done by 6-7:00am? Absolutely!
I am currently recovering from a stress fracture, so no runs for me at the moment:cane:
