Supertraining

I am not sure what you mean by urban legend.  Healthy
elite runners do not do pool work a few times a week
for a pretty good reason.  It does not help their
performance. Even injured elite runners do not swim in
a pool.  They may, however, run in a pool until they
are healthy enough to resume running on land.
