I think there already is:You can't run a marathon in sprints.
it's not a 100 meters race, it's more like a marathon
Try distance running! Works for me!
That's covering one marathon distance everyday!
Nice sentiment, but I'd liken it so a 26.2 mile sprint.
haha :) Feels more like an ultra-marathon sometimes
All I'm saying is, you run 26 miles then sprint the last 0.1 and tell me it's not intense.
Elite marathoners have the composition of my jog in the park at the speed of my full sprint!
The same reason people run a marathon instead of just driving the route.
because you don't know where in the run you're going to be at max speed or how long you can maintain it
