Does training for running and swimming simultaneously give better combined effect?
I am now training for marathon running and marathon swimming simultaneously for coming races in both sports.
Will this be likely to give me better or worse performance than if I only do a single sport, if the training amount and methodology is exactly the same for a single sport?
E.g. I'm swimming 4 times a week with 15 km total, and running 3 times a week with 45 km total to train for both marathon swimming and marathon running at the same time.
Will my running performance likely be better or worse if I stop swimming, and only run 3 times a week with 45 km total with the exact same structure?

I think you would perform better in running if you would concentrate on it. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't be swimming, your body needs some variety that it won't get boring.
But if your goal is just to run a marathon, not the fastest time possible for your Body. Then this is okey too, because you will still improve your Cardio either way and this will help in the opposite sport as well.
