Raymond-As I was reading I was thinking to look at how runners train for races that last around three minuits.. I'll have to look but I'm off for a run at present :). I'll be running 'rounds' tho. No distance.
I don't think its simplistic at all. I do think though that runners use certain muscles to run or mainly certain ones and also in a very set ROM. Hip flexors were mentioned before..runners use them and to kick uses them.. well training the hip flexors in the ROM needed in jogging is not the same as sprinting (most injuries happen in the starting and stopping phases too) and in sprinting isn't the same as kicking.
How many people tire in a fight-breath HARD..? We've all done it I'm sure.
Now we can't simulating that kind of training prepare you for exactly that?
I understand how ingrained in our belief systems runniung is but how about a little support for the idea?
If a distance runner can't do a 3 min run as fast and as well (he'll be 'tired and btreathing hard') as a guy that trains for a 3min run...
Can a 3min runner do distance? does he train distance for his 3min running? I don't think many would.
I'll loolk at the link later but this should sugest something no?
