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.
