Are you long or are you a short distance runner?

[kennykat]

I'm decent at both, but I prefer long distance.

[Marthuke]

I'm a long distance runner!
I'm in great shape to do it too! :D ;3

[Sardonyx]

Long distance.

I'm not the fastest, but I don't tire easily.

[PaPa SmUrF]

If I were to get back in shape, I'd probably be solid at both.

But for now, I'm a short distance runner.

[Oracle]

Long distance.

[Xirae]

I like long distance and ton better.

[iSuckAtMK]

Short distance.

I have the ability to go for a long distance run but since my body isn't used to it, I'll end up throwing up. =I

[Bunbun]

I'm not such a good runner, I'll get very tired during the first half then finish off coughing in the end breathing very heavily. ._.

Really, i do suck at running short distances because i'm not that fast but i can run for along time keep doing it for a good amount of time.

If you are a short distance runner, than you have quite the amount of speed, and are faster than the average person. Yet, most short-distance runners tend to tire out when it comes to long distance (i.e. 400m run).


You can't train to become either one, it's chosen genetically over a ratio of muscle compositions in your body, mostly in your legs.


Personally, I am a long-distance runner, being able to practically whistle the mile at 4:53. And 400m at 2:21. And, although I'm not the fastest of the group, I do have speed.

Discuss.




Video games do not count, children. So don't try to impress someone.

Ur definitely lying. I ran track and 2:21 in the 400m is pathetic. 2:21 is average at best for an 800 m run smart one, which is half a mile. So I highly doubt you run a mile in 4:53.
