A Swimmer\u2019s Guide to Running: From Water to Land<\/strong><\/p>\n

Running is often considered a swimmer\u2019s worst nightmare. Swimmers dread it. After all, we\u2019re meant for water<\/em>, not land. But running doesn\u2019t have to be the enemy. Especially in situations in which COVID-19 has caused havoc with training schedules, running has become an accessible option.<\/p>\n

If you do get the itch to lace up your sneakers and venture out to try a land sport, follow these 10 tips in the running survival guide for swimmers.<\/p>\n

Tip #1: Appropriate attire.<\/h2>\n

It will be weird to exercise with something on your feet, but proper running shoes are crucial. Invest in a good pair that provides support to avoid injury. Your new hobby of running is also an excellent excuse to get new workout clothes that aren\u2019t a swim suit. Whatever you do, leave your fins at home\u2014they\u2019re extremely difficult to run in.<\/p>\n

Tip #2: Breathe.<\/h2>\n

We\u2019re used to not<\/em> breathing as swimmers, but remember: running is not a breath control set. Swimming has drastically increased our lung capacity which carries over into running. When running, you should generally breathe in and out through your mouth. Make sure your breath extends all the way to your stomach, not shallow breaths from your chest. Focusing on rhythmic breathing will help your overall running efficiency.<\/p>\n

Tip #3: Proper nutrition.<\/h2>\n

Nutrition plays a big role in both swimming and running. Eating healthy<\/a> and getting proper nutrients won\u2019t automatically make you a faster swimmer or runner, but it will give you the fuel your body needs to stay healthy and perform its best. It\u2019s imperative to hydrate before, during and after your run; you will be more susceptible to cramps if you\u2019re dehydrated. Sports drinks after your workout can help replace electrolytes lost through sweat as well.<\/p>\n

Tip #4: Find a route.<\/h2>\n

Even though we may want to be close to our home turf, running on the pool deck is a disaster waiting to happen. The beauty of running is that you get to look at something other than a black line or your teammates\u2019 feet. Map out different routes around your neighborhood or campus that are safe to run that offer a change of scenery. If you have to run on a treadmill, make sure you have a good playlist or a TV show to watch.<\/p>\n

Tip #5: Focus on form.<\/h2>\n

Proper form and good technique prevents injury in swimming, and running is no different. When it comes to land activities, swimmers often have two left feet. The last thing anybody wants is for an injury to occur from running, so follow these basic tips for good running form:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Relax your shoulders.<\/li>\n
  • Engage your core.<\/li>\n
  • Keep your knees in line.<\/li>\n
  • Focus on quick and short strides.<\/li>\n
  • Push up and off the ground.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Tip #6: Start small.<\/h2>\n

    During your first practice back after some time away from the pool, you don\u2019t expect yourself to be able to hold intervals you can when you\u2019re in peak training. Same thing with running\u2014don\u2019t expect to be able to run a marathon your first time out. Start by alternating a run\/walk combo, then work your way up to a couple of miles, then gradually add a few more in each time.<\/p>\n

    Tip #7: Set goals.<\/h2>\n

    Goal setting is engraved in our brains as swimmers. Just like we do at the start of each swim season, set goals for what you want to get out of running. Maybe you just want a new activity to increase your overall fitness or a new hobby if your swim career has ended. Maybe you want to be able to run a 5k by the end of the summer or are training for a half marathon in the fall. Whatever your goal for running may be, make sure it motivates and excites you.<\/p>\n

    Tip #8: Warm up.<\/h2>\n
    \"running-sneakers-jog\"

    Imagine rolling out of bed and having to race a 400 IM or sprinting a 50 free with absolutely no warmup. You probably wouldn\u2019t swim very fast, and you\u2019d definitely feel it the next day. You don\u2019t want to cold-turkey a run either. Start off by walking or slow jogging to loosen your legs up before gradually increasing speed. Dynamic exercises to get your heart rate up are also a good warmup before a run.<\/p>\n

    Tip #9: Cool down.<\/h2>\n
    \"run-jog-strecth-cool-down\"

    During an already hectic schedule, cool down is sometimes the last thing you want to do but it\u2019s extremely important and shouldn\u2019t be overlooked. Just like after swim practice or a race, try to cool down for at least a little bit after each run. Near the end, start to jog a little slower or walk for a few minutes to relax your legs. Static stretching is best when done right after a workout when the muscles are already warm.<\/p>\n

    Tip #10: Try other forms of exercise.<\/h2>\n

    Whether you\u2019re newly retired, taking a short break from swimming or just trying to find new ways to stay active, there are countless ways to stay in shape in addition to running that will still give you a break from the water. Mix in yoga, cycling, hiking, circuit training, or Zumba to give your running legs a break. Find something that you\u2019re excited about so your workout doesn\u2019t seem like work.<\/p>\n

    Wherever your feet lead you, just don\u2019t run on the pool deck.<\/p>\n
