If you want to run and swim on the same day...?

You want to swim first unless you are in really great shape.  The problem with swimming second after a hard run or lifting session is that you can cramp.  It’s embarrassing to cramp in the middle of the lane, and it pretty much ends your swimming session!  Also if you lift first it really negatively impacts your swim and you don’t get a good swim workout because your muscles are already tired and you don’t get a good aerobic workout.\n\nI always swim first and then run right after the swim.  Doing two things on one day isn’t a problem but you need to be sure to eat and hydrate correctly or you will bonk during your second session.\n\nIf you are training for something specific then I would do the exercises in the order that you expect to do them.\n\nAs a triathlete I’m always doing to types of exercises in one day and don’t have any problems, but I’m careful about what I eat and drink.\n\nAlso don’t always do two sessions a day, you can burn out and overtrain which will set you back instead of making your more fit.\n\nHave fun!

I find that swimming after a workout helps a lot. A good idea to go to a gym that has a pool if possible.

As long as you can swim well, and haul in someone in distress, that's all that matters. Beyond that, get your body fit however you want it to be.

If you run before work, it will make your day a whole lot better. Your body will release indorfins and they will make you happier throughout the day. Exercise always just makes you feel good, so I would deffinatly do it in the morning.

i remember a workout my coach made me do and it helped a tremendous amount. but you kind of have to be competitive to want to do it. we sprinted 100's, with set times that we had to make like it started with 1.40 and went down by like 5 or 10 sec. each time until it was about 1.00. but we had to make each one. it was against other swimmers and if you didn't make it you were out. its kind of a group effort( it makes it fun).\nbut ne other way is to concentrate on 50 sprints.

Thats the only kind of swimming that makes sense!! \n\nwithout racing there wouldnt be the satisfaction of beating the guy swimming in the lane next to you!

oh yes i would!!\n\nthere are three steps to 'the plunge'.  if you run in and immerse your self right away, it takes away the fun of the process... but you won't chicken out!\n\nthe first step is putting your feet in.  once you've made up your mind to do it, it's quite easy.  toes have some insulation.  the second comes for me when i get up to my thighs in water... do i go a bit deeper?  will i need these for a few hours?!   brrr.... iced apple pie.   the third and final step is full immersion, head to toe.  by now i'm in 5 to 6 feet of chilly water, so this part is again actually quite easy.  get the hair wet, the water in the eyes... what could be better?  then, back to the sun and the sand.  repeat as necessary!\n\nps::: large waves or someone jumping on you or splashing you are considered 'cheating'!

How would it be cheating?  Unless the rules say you have to run or walk and cannot combine both, it's perfectly fine!  There are lots of training plans for run/walking marathons that are very popular.  I'm sure there will be others just like you there doing a run/walk method.  You'll be covering the whole 26.2 miles on your feet and that's what you are supposed to do.  Good luck and have fun!

Swimming is a build up sport.\nstart off slow say 20 laps(without stopping)\ndo that for a week.\nNext week try 25 or 30. \nJust keep building it up.\nYou will eventually be fit enough to swim a few kms if you want.
