Can using a elliptical help with running?

My buddy said he hasn't been running much but lowered his run time with a elliptical. My question is this possible? With high resistance and a good pace?

Well, the elliptical is kind of like running, and when you practice at it you get better. So, yes, it can definitely help if you use it properly.

Yes. Elliptical raises your endurance and is very similar to running but without the impact. It has helped me.

Seems unlikely. Although it's quite possible to get a good aerobic workout on the elliptical, the motion is so much different from normal running that I doubt you would experience any benefit.
