I also have aqua weights for resistance training. Many times I would just pick a spot to stare at, turn on my headphones and enjoy exactly the feeling of taking a long distance run for an hour. The lack of stress on my knees makes my hard surface runs more enjoyable. Other times, I would do one minute intervals in 5 feet of water and although I love to sweat and have never gotten over that part in a pool, when I get back into the locker room, I know I have had a workout. By the way, I have been running for 26 years. I am 72. I have been aqua jogging for 8 years, three days per week. I also have aqua weights for resistance training.

Keep your aqua running to interval training... hard and VERY hard repeats of 30 seconds or so alternated with a recovery "easy" run of 30 seconds or so. Taylor,

I have a pool and was wondering that if the temperature gets to high i could aqua run instead and would I benefit from it or not? I would appreciate your help.

The abstract can be found on PubMed at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17685701 The peer-reviewed research article concludes: Dry-aerobic exercises and electrostimulation were more beneficial than water-aerobic exercises and passive rest for reducing muscle pain, which could affect the player's working ability.

My wife is a long distance runner (national competition in Belgium) but she's injured now : piriformis syndrome and SI-joint inflammation. So the only thing she can do is aquajogging and ellipticals to reduce the impact. Normally she trains 6 to 7 times a week at an average mileage of 55mi/week. The aquajogging sessions she does are : 5 series of 10 minutes with 2 minutes rest or 7 series of 8 minutes with 1.5 minutes rest. My question now is : could you please help her with some other training sessions in the swimming pool? Kind regards, Tom from Belgium Hey coach,

You can look the abstract of the article up in my website research section.
