    Do you think any of them include distance running at all, for

    Does anyone know what people capable of a 10 sec 100m would run a mile in?

    How bout distance runners running the 100m?

    Intuition tells me that milers, even marathoners, would do better in the
    100m than 100 m people would do in a mile -- cuz, well, they are already traversing 100 m. <huyuk>
    . I don't think sprinters could even *complete* a marathon, proly not even close.

    If this is true, the vast asymmetry of the two camps is inneresting....

    Opinions?

    I have been a nationally ranked age group sprinter for 40 years and can tell you the majority of top sprinters could run a mile but not @ national caliber and the reason is two fold; one, they would have to train over 20 miles per week and build up their
    aerobic capacity as the mile is 70% aerobic and 30% anaerobic, most can not or will not do that, second and more important is that sprinters have over 90% fast twitch fibers and this alone would prevent them from running a great mile. Just because one
    is a great sprinter does not mean they can just step on the track and run a great mile, it does not work that way.

    Interesting. I am NOT a sprinter myself, but I always thought the mile
    was still in sprinter range.

    I my mind I had it broken out into roughly 3 ranges based on my
    experience.
    1 mile or less - sprinting
    1+ mile to around 10 mile - intermediate
    around half marathon and up - Long distance
    (though actually I vaguely thought there might be another
    break somewhere above 30 miles or so, but I never ran that far.)

    So what would you say is the boundary between sprint distance
    and "long" distance? Would you break it down into multiple ranges?

    Enjoy the run,

    Here is another way to spin it ... how does a young athlete get
    directed to long distance running?

    Answer: The track coaches and basketball coaches and soccer coaches
    and football coaches all tell him/her ... oh you are a natural long
    distance runner ... now get out of here!

    Most long distances runners have little natural high end speed ...
    most sprinters are too smart to get sucked into long distance
    running. That does not translate into most sprinters could not beat
    the snot out of most long distance runners in a reasonably long event.

    SPrinters are dumb koons, hunky

    Ah a troll has wandered in. Not a very creative one though.
    Mister S. you probably buy your shoes at Dollar Tree.
    I'd bet that the farthest you run is from the couch
    to the frig and back.

    Enjoy the run

    yep, too slow to think up any reply even vaguely related to
    running. How low trolling has fallen.

    Enjoy the run,
