How should I improve my running for softball?

Question

Ive started playing softball in a rec league with a bunch of friends. It's just for fun, but I still kind of suck. Unless I get a good hit, I cant make it to first because Im so slow lol. I didnt realise how out of shape Im really in...

What kind of exercises can I work on at the gym so I can improve my running?

Answer 1

Run short distances fast--this will improve speed.

Run long distances slow--this wil improve stamina.

Once a week run some hills--this will improve strength.

Plan a rest day between each workout to give your body time to recover.
