What distance should i run?

Question

i always thought i was a mid distance runner , but i have recently joined an athletics team and am finding i do better on the sprints , i am short and have an athletic build, i think the sprinting may be a side effect of playing football for 7 years and using an exercise bike but i still think im mid distance, any help?

Answer 1

Well since you are already a sprinter from doing football, you should not pursue long distance. Maybe some of the middle distances which require a late kick at the end to have a good race. Try the 400 meter dash. Aim for around 65 seconds.

Answer 2

Do what you think is best for you.  

Answer 3

Run to California and back from Maine. That would be MY goal.

Answer 4

at least running a mile a day should be good

try makeing it in 8-9 minutes

ive ran it in 7min. and 47 sec. =]
