I know running can be a great way to lose weight and get ripped, but is there a good substitute to running 10 miles? For instance, what if I ran five miles, swam a little bit (I'm not a good swimmer, so not very much,) rode my bike for a while, and played basketball? I would do these all within a short period of time. What would be good distances for each sport to get similar results to running 10 miles?

Swimming is the best. It works your entire body. But, you could do that combination if you wanted. Run the 5 miles, do a little basketball, and then the bike. Then since you aren't the best at swimming do that last, use it as a cool down. That order would probably be best, since the basketball would give you a tiny break between running and biking.

They say that exercise is 50% mental.
So why not THINK about running 20 miles? Should work!
