Pool Running?

bump, same situation here

I would treat the pool running like a double. You wouldn't go for another run right after you just ran would you? I think pool running in the morning would be best assuming you don't think your body could handle an actual double in the morning.

Pool running is great, but you don't want to overdo it too much. You won't get hurt but fatigue and burnout can happen if you don't space it correctly or do it too much.

Try to put a few hours in between a real run and the pool, as many as you can really. My legs always feel looser after a pool run so I prefer to sometimes to a short, easy one the morning I have a tough workout.

The rule I was taught was to count 10 minutes as 1 mile and because of the added resistance whatever time you spend in the pool is 1.5X more than what it would be on the ground. So for doubles I would rarely go longer than 40.

Best of luck, it is a great thing.
