200m gold medalists Gabby Thomas says she struggles to run a mile

[RedBull]

The hardest and the most mentally challenging sport in the olympics is the 5000m and 10000m and the marathon races, that is pure willpower , it is harder to be a guy like mo farah uk black somalia brother that was a legend in the sport than to be noah lyles or andre grasse , endurance running is extremely tough

Spoken like a true slow twitch fiber having cac. Nobody was even talking about which is harder...winning on a world class level in any distance is hard and requires willpower. Always tryna undermine sprinters. All these sprinters got more willpower in their left nut than yo forum critiquing ass.
Shut yo bytch ass up.

Side note: there's quite a few track dudes in here.

I felt the same way when I ran track. I was a sprinter and hated running the 400m.

not really the same thing, the 400m actually has benefits for a sprinter.

She could easily run a mile, what she is really saying is it's annoying.

Or

They require them to hit a certain time and that's what's hard.

yeah some people built for explosiveness some people built for endurance

Facts breh, which is why I don’t understand why people try to debate which is harder/more impressive.

They each have their own skill sets and they each require different genes to succeed at the highest levels.

My theory is it goes back to when we still lived in small communities (early humans)


People built for endurance were the hunters

The quick burst, short(er) periods of exertion was probably found more in warrior types.

A society needed BOTH types to keep their people safe and fed/alive.

Dudes need to look up Aerobic vs Anaerobic.

Two different exercise principles.

Aerobic is low intensity shyt like cardio, distance running and swimming and shyt and uses oxygen to supply energy over an extended time.
Anaerobic is high intensity shyt like sprinting, lifting and uses the sugars and phosphates in your body to supply the energy in short bursts.
