It goes without saying that most swimmers do not enjoy running. We fare far better in the water than we do on land.<\/p>\n

Ann Mazur<\/strong>, an avid runner and founder of the Runners Love Yoga brand, has made it her mission to change our ways. The Charlottesville local is an accomplished distance runner and yoga enthusiast\u2014but swimming, she says, has been the key to her athletic success.<\/p>\n

Ann currently teaches yoga and running classes in the kinesiology department at the University of Virginia. A few years earlier, she ran cross country for Notre Dame. But swimming was always her first love, and it has given her an edge in her running career.<\/p>\n

\u201cSwimming is such an advantage that I have over other runners,\u201d she says. \u201cThese other runners, if they are injured or recovering, they don\u2019t have anything to fall back on.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ann used swimming as a recovery tool when she was a competitive runner in college. Now that she has added yoga to the mix, she believes she has the trifecta: three different activities that boost and complement each other perfectly.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou build a more amazing engine being a swimmer than just being a runner,\u201d she explains. \u201cYou have access to much greater endurance on a weekly basis, and you can push yourself more.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On the other side of the spectrum, Ann thinks all swimmers\u2014and athletes in general\u2014can benefit from yoga on the side.<\/p>\n
