This is the one I think that's closest
The thing is in swimming,, a factor is swim background as a child or as an adult onset swimmer
To improve running as an adult is just easier than learning to swim from scratch.

This almost makes me want to start running, just to see what kind of improvement I can get. I have little to no history of running. I have run one Half Marathon (2013) and a few half-ironmans. No serious running in the last 5 years. A few weeks I ran after my shoulder surgery last year. Would be an interesting self experiment some time. Maybe over the winter when it’s uncomfortable to ride, but fine to run.
