Hello... I am a very serious runner and I am considering using swimming as cross training. I am a distance runner and I would like to know what kind of workouts to do that would help my endurance and my lung capacity. I'll be swimming 2 times a week on top of running twice a day every day in case you need to know. Thanks for the help.

I can no longer run do to a car accident I had about two years ago. In the accident I severed both of my feet at the ankles and crushed most of the bones in my legs. I have been very lucky and had a great surgeon who put me back together. While I do have pretty good use of both of legs and feet they no longer bend at the ankle the way they should. The pins, rods, and plates they used to put me back together have produced limitations. I am very lucky, they originally thought I would lose both legs above the ankle and then they were not sure whether or how well I would walk. Most people do not notice the slight limp I have most of the time. When they really bother me people will notice a limp. Thanks for asking. It has been a long slow road to recovery. I was even in a wheel chair for a while. Good luck and keep on swimming!!
