how do you do water running? Do you have access to an under water treadmill or do you just run in the lap pool somehow?

He actually just stands in his bathtub with 6" of water and swings his legs... :)

Aaron,I had the same question as you when I first did it, it made no sense. fortunately I wasn't gullible enough to listed to Jon, though that is what he told me to do.
you just put a water running belt on, jump in the pool where it is deep enough to be above your head, and simulate running. in our pool they have a portion of the diving pool roped off for it. laps won't work if they aren't over your head as your feet will scrape the bottom. you do actually go somewhere, just real slow. I try to vary the pace/intensity doing what Cody told me to do. Like 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1 minute intensity ladders with recoveries.
It is actually a pretty good workout, and takes the load off the legs at the same time so no impact. good for injury recovery or in my case, trying to minimize pounding for awhile.
