I run and swim competitivly, and I've found that the running and swimming are excelent for balancing muscle development. Many runners have very strong legs, but a weak upper body. The swimming works muscles that running ignores, which makes you a better runner. I currently swim about 4000 yards three times a week, doing a mixture of distance, sprints, kicking and pulling. I've also found that going for an easy swim after a long run or race helps to relax the muscles and reduce the soreness. Note to Ollie: Try adding some kicking into your off-season pool workout. It does wonders for your leg strength. RnrGirl
