It all depends on speed I guess, but I would think for the average person, running would burn more because it’s easier for a regular person to get to a decent pace, as compared with swimming where you need to worry about stroke / form / etc.

Input your body weight and put in running at 7 mph as against swimming at the faster speed and running burns more, at least according to that site.

Crazy man… I’m sure your workout is not boring though! :lol  
I seen some of the stuff those guys in Fight Quest do to up their stamina, $hit is ridiculous.

I did, but don’t know what thread you’re getting at? One you made as opposed to one Adam made?
