I'm running around 2 miles every 2-3 days atm and increasing in increments of half miles every week but I'm not really varying my training too much. Was just wondering if anyone had advice on other (cheap - I'm a student and diving takes up all my money  ) exercises I could do or different training regimes when running which would help improve my SAC?
Any help appreciated.

Even for those who aren't into the DIR way of doing things, they have some excellent articles in their Quest magazine on Cardio Conditioning and Diver Safety and another on Developing a Personal Fitness Regime. The copies of Quest containing these (along with all the other Quests for the past few years) are available for download as a PDF when you get a on-line membership for $29 per year at
