Whats the btter way to train for running? Run Really Fast, Or Long?

Question

Should i Run as fast as i can until i cant anymore, and beat that everytime i run, Or Walk 20 miles and improve my time every time i do the 20 Miles.... 20 Miles is a joke... Lets try 5....

Answer 1

Both - alternate your training.

Answer 2

Both fast would work on speed try 1-2 minute intervals and run real fast. On opposite days run 5 miles. It will build up your endurance and speed.

Answer 3

its better to start a short distance then keep increasing the distance each day or every 2 days, or so. the most important thing is to build up endurance, so if youre planning on running a marathon or something, you'll be able to handle it for a long time

Answer 4

keeping apaced jg is the best sprinting will help if thats what you are trying to improve. A paced long 5 mile jog is ALWAYS good

Answer 5

you can try both just jog 2-3 miles to warm up. then sprint as much as you can until you get tired. Drinking powerade or gaterade before you run. it helped me once when I was running cross country

Answer 6

I think it's better to run really long because it will give you more endurance to run longer and faster

Answer 7

you have to do both
2-3 workouts a week combined with distance and short easy runs

Answer 9
