I have found that RWing uses more muscles, especially the upper body that running does not seem to. It fits with strength training much more. I wish I had been...
I would suggest Dave McNally's, oooops, Dave McGoverns articles. He makes the technique seem easy to follow, until you start to increase the number of steps...
