Answer 1

Swimming is very good for cross training.  You could swim laps, run in the water (less impact and more resistance), do push-ups on the side of the pool, etc.

Biking is not a bad idea, if you stay on paved areas.  it works your quads, which can help your running.  If you go off-roading, you have a higher risk of injury.

Jump rope is good, as it works the cardiovascular system, as well as the arms and legs a bit.  Just don't slam your legs down, as that would cause unnecessary impact on your legs.
