i am very fast when it come to short sprints but i almost pass out in long distance runs. When i try to practice long distance i can't keep a slow pace and i end up sprinting and then can't go anymore. Is there anything i can do to learn to run a long run, like jumping rope, that helped me in sprinting? thanks.How do i make the transition from a 100m sprinter to long distance runner?
YOu simply have to discipline yourself and understand that you have a specific amount of energy that you can use to sprint 800m or you can use to cover a longer distance like 5k. Consider your store of energy as a ball of string. The faster you run, the faster the string unwinds, the slower you run the slower the string unwinds.
Jumping rope and hefting the iron won't help much in the longer runs, although I recommend you continue to do mild upper body strengthening.
My suggestion is this: LEARN TO KEEP A SLOWER PACE. You see, running is not a sport meant to drive your body 100% every time you slip on the Sauconys, spikes, or NB.
Start today: Set your mind to the fact that you will do 4 laps today at a comfortable pace. For ease of calculation, let's do an 8-minute mile. That's 2 minutes a lap, 1 minute per 220m, 30 seconds for 110 m.
Be scientific and determined... YOu will really learn to enjoy the wonderful excitement of distance running.
You Just Need to find A Pace and Keep it. Start small (3k) and work your way yp to 5k-%26gt;10kHow do i make the transition from a 100m sprinter to long distance runner?
longer training sessions with longer distances like 1500m's to practice the pace then build up to longer distances as you get more used to it
Why can't you keep a slow pace? I know it is easy to run fast, at least for a while and then you have used up your energy and can not run any more. Run at the back of the group until you find a pace that you can handle. If you are in practice and not racing run where you are able to talk. If you can not talk you are in oxygen debt and that is not training aerobic. Nothing is going to help running long distance, but running long distance.How do i make the transition from a 100m sprinter to long distance runner?
create a path in the streets with a reasonable amount of time to accomplish. start out with 4 miles then procced as you advance. don't add on the miles too fast though. whatever the speed you choose to go, try maintaining it. don't stop and walk for any reason. in the stop lights, run in place. you'll get use to it, eventually. [i'm personally trying to become faster in the 400m sprint, i'm a distance runner. so, i don't get tired--but i can't speed up either] good luck.
practice running more distance when you run keep it in your mind that you have a couple miles left %26amp; if you sprint them all you will be dead by the second lap
u should start by jogging 6 miles EVERYDAY to help ur endurance......that's wat u need help in.
luckz 4rm tha 4x100,4x200,4x400,and 400m runner
Mid-Distance all day everyday...
Go out for something like a 3km run to sart off with at a pace of 4min a km. You can go onto longer distances latter on.
