How a Sprinkle of Sprinting Can Massively Improve Your Distance Running: Kieran Gillespie
August 24, 2022 04:01 - 48 minutes - 46.1 MBAll runners are not the same. Distance runners and sprinters really seem to be engaging in an entirely different sport. Tiny and lean elite marathoners are a stark contrast to muscular, powerful sprinters. Training for these events is vastly different and what it takes to be successful for a 100m sprinter is quite different than that for a marathoner. Or is it? Certainly it’s easy to find the differences, but I would argue that there’s a significant overlap both in the physical training ...
