Swimming or Running?

What are the benefits of each??? what do you guys prefer more?!?

I know swimming works the whole body, yet many of us opt for running??

It's easier to find a place to run than find a place to swim.

It takes less time to get ready before and after running than it does for swimming.

Some people just don't know how to swim, or don't swim well.

Swimming is full body. Sprinting is too but I imagine you are referring to jogging.

Looking at the blue stripe on the bottom of a pool for an hour is extrememly boring. Every pool that I've swam in has the same stripe. They're all the same.

Running can be done anywhere at just about any time. I run on trails. We have miles and miles of trails in my town. It's never boring.

Jackson81: What is the difference between jogging, running and sprinting? Because I've been a runner for 20 years now and I don't know but it sounds like you do. So what is the difference? Do you really know or are you just talking out of your ass? It sounds like you're talking out of your ass. You've probably never swam a 100 meters or even ran a mile in your whole life.

I like running cuz A. i suck at swimming, and B. sprints make my kicks more explosive and give me stamina at the same time.

I'll run now during the winter, but i'm going to swim durin the summer, get a nice tan and work my body, the main reason for why i don't swim is tho because of i suck at one typical type of it, wich is the best (i don't know the word for it in english sorry, but here is a picture http://www.usc.edu/dept/LAS/phed/swimming.JPG ).

Freestyle. I suck at it too. Almost every other person who comes into the pool dusts me on that swim.
