    Default Keeping fit

    Did another race yesterday, a half marathon over a very hilly course. The sun came out to play, which made it too hot to run, a couple of nice downhills made it fun.

    If anyone is interested in seeing the route it's here - http://www.mapmyrun.com/run/united-k...24827987122228

    Click on elevation and then stretch the box vertically.

    I complete around 20 races a year, no marathons this year but I have completed 9 so far including New York, Paris & London.

    The biggest problem is that runners tend to use a lot of air underwater, they are used to using a lot of air while running, my tip is just to think about your breathing for a minute as soon as you hit your depth - it works for me.

    Now you wouldn't believe me if I told you, but I could run like the wind blows. From that day on, if I was ever going somewhere, I was running!

    I run like the wind too, unfortunately, for me, it is the wind in the equatorial doldrums.

    After the race that started this thread I had some knee pain. After an MRI scan and a chat with my doctor I have been told never to run again or do anything that causes impact on my knee. He was surprised I was walking unaided now.

    So I bought a Triathlon wetsuit and started sea swimming. Water temps locally never get warmer than 16C so suits are important. I now swim 1-2 miles 2-3 times a week, freestyle with no leg movement. I don't feel as fit as when I ran but at least there's no impact on my knees.

    Even with diving it is amazing how much exercise one gets without it appearing so.

    I try to put in more runs before a diving trip. It helps to keep me physically fit, and I find my air consumption is better controlled than when I wasn't running as much.

    It is true that we get lots of exercise during diving because the food intake is much more but my weight doesn't go up!
