For peak performance, 3 is not better than 1
This is an interesting article from the New York Times about training for triathlons. The article discusses the pros and cons of training for 3 different sports at the same time.

Keep in mind that this probably on applies to people that are in good shape. I think that those who are just starting to run can benefit from cross training. At a beginner level, anything to help the lungs and burn fat will probably help you become a better runner. Likewise, in the off-season, it is certainly better to do something than to do nothing. For example, if it’s too cold for you to run in the winter, then do something in-doors like a stationary bike.
