Has anyone else noticed that if you swim earlier in the day (before
noon) and then run in the afternoon that you are looser during the run.
I noticed this during my college competitive days (almost a decade ago)
and since starting swimming at noon recently it has become apparent
again.  I feel much more fluid in my stride - perhaps because the
swimming provides a good overall stretch for me.  I have also noticed
that the swimming does not adversly affect my running endurance - I
have not compared against pure speed.  I'm getting too old to be
concerned with my 400m time...

I also recall that I had less injuries when swimming and running.  I
believe swimming has the tendency to strengthen some of the muscles
that we don't during running.  These muscles were generally the ones
that I would pull during running.

Anyone have any observations or personal insights that they may add. 
I`m curious about this.

Stephen.
