Extreme Veteran 313 | Subject: RE: swimming/running same day If that was me I'd do the swim before work (5.30-7am) and then the run after work (around 6pm). You can do it straight after the other to save time, this is good if you have a bike then a run because it gets you used to running off the bike because your legs feel like jelly. Unless you are extremely pushed with time, just do one in the morning and the other in the afternoon/night. Also welcome to BT, enjoy this website people are really helpful. |

Champion 10021  , Minnesota Bronze member | Subject: RE: swimming/running same day Occasionally plan will specify that they relate to each other. For instance, it might be "ride 12 miles then run 2 immediately off the bike". Unspecified, you can do them any time. I could swear I read something that said they are meant to be split. But I do whatever works in my schedule. |

Sensei Sin City | Subject: RE: swimming/running same day The more time between the better. Allows for rest and recovery to hit the next workout that much harder. HOWEVER, for most people, get them in when you can. I usually get the shorter workout in during lunch and the other right after work. If not, I may do them back to back after work. Just as long as I get them in, basically. |

| Subject: RE: swimming/running same day Leave as much time as you need. Make sure to fuel before each. I like to eat a Clif Bar or a small bowl of oatmeal around 60 minutes prior. Even a banana or a two tablespoons of gel gets the job done for me. I find this especially helpful on days where I do a double workout. |

Champion 5782 Northridge, California | Subject: RE: swimming/running same day Very often do AM swim/PM run on Thursday or Tuesday. On Saturdays, though, I sometimes do run (or ride) right after swim, because the open lap swim hours don't start until 9 am. |

Extreme Veteran 1030 West Windsor, NJ | Subject: RE: swimming/running same day Does anyone have issues if they run...THEN immediately swim? I have had major cramping issues if the swim is long enough, and my arms feel like lead. Really odd. I stopped doing that. Agree with all the above though. Split em up is best, but just get them in whenever/however. |

Iron Donkey 38643 , Wisconsin | Subject: RE: swimming/running same day Anytime. Since I was doing IM training and I have a family with 3 young boys, scheduling was tough most of the time. I have done some (almost) 2 hour swims followed by a 1 hour or so run (within 10 min. or less) after the swim, after work, a couple of times. |

I have had major cramping issues if the swim is long enough, and my arms feel like lead. Really odd. I stopped doing that. I live 2.5 miles from the pool, so sometimes run down, swim, and then run home. I've never noticed an issue going from the run to the swim. In the five or so minutes it takes to transition, heart rate is usually down. I drink a little water, but no food. And then a few warm up laps before getting into it. I find the run home (which is mostly uphill) quite a bit harder than a normal short run, though. |

I have had major cramping issues if the swim is long enough, and my arms feel like lead. Really odd. I stopped doing that. Agree with all the above though. Split em up is best, but just get them in whenever/however. My calves tend to get iffy and will start to cramp after 2000 yards or so right after a run. I do these, but don't hesitate to stop if my calves decide to call it a day. I typically do the other way around, though. I figure in a tri I am always going to be tired on the run, so might as well train that way (and it fits my schedule). |

Split em up is best, but just get them in whenever/however. When I have a swim and a run on the same day, I always run FIRST, and then immediately swim after. It just works out better since there is a nice running trail right next to the YMCA I swim at. And since I'm all sweaty from running and would have to shower anyway, I might as well shower at the YMCA and get my swim done right then and there. If I were to swim first, I'd end up taking three showers in the process... shower before swim, shower after swim, shower after run. Edited by lisac957 2009-09-02 12:55 PM |
