Long dist running or sprinting...
-
i dunno leh....i am sprinter...i can only sprint, i sux at long distOriginally posted by ~Lyn~:which of the above will help to tone the legs instead of building up muscles? Or any other ways to tone up leg muscles?

the weights i'm referring to are not those used by most bball players or netball players.. not those that strapround ur ankles.. but wat i meant is those weights in the gym( those round black iron disc) .. if i dun remember wrongly my friend tied at least 20kg wif a rope round the waist.. slowly the weights will increase..and when she do a few drills wif that, she's not only stimulating the sprint she'll be doing, she's also training her muscles.. so ultimately her speed increase when she sprint without the weights..
Waliow....sounds damned tough, more like training to be a pro-wrestler leh....
Better not play with this kind of char-bor, or else she can body slam you.

Originally posted by ~Lyn~:wat i see my frens did for training is they tie weights with a rope round their waist and they try sprinting across the grass field. did a few rounds.. think that one buid up the leg muscles.. To get a better and clearer picture of this I suggest strongly to you that you refer to any of the Sports Professionals athletes rather than getting different people wif dfiferent types of info. here in this forums

1st question.... i still think must balancel 50%mental prep and 50% phy prep..too much mental str but no phy prep = cant push the boundry.. too much phy and little mental prep also cannot push ur self above ur maxOriginally posted by wuming78:by the way i have 2 other running-related questions:
1. is there an upper limit to the one's capacity (speed, distance) to run, imposed by our body? e.g. say for 2.4 km, is there a upper limit to how fast a person can complete it, such that beyond that, no matter how much he trains he wont be able to complete any faster? another e.g. is distance - is there an upper limit to how far a person can run, such that beyond that no matter how hard he trains, he wont be able to run any further perhaps without injuring himself, etc?
or does this limit not exist at all, and its all a matter of training?
2. how should one deal with general knee pains and discomforts from frequent running? strangely, i do not usually experience pains in the knee while running, but only during normal walking and swimming. can such discomfort be safely ignored?
thanks!
2nd question.... 1stly...pain and discomfort is 2 totally diff thing...feel pain? stop training and see how 1st... feel discomfort? continue to push...
thats for me
above is my opion -
1) Definitely there is a limit or else no need to have world records for this and that. Of course world records are create to be surpassed.Originally posted by wuming78:by the way i have 2 other running-related questions:

But for normal amatuer like us, our best effort(capacity) are normally not tap efficiently. With the correct and adequate training, your timing & stamina will improve.
2) You need to consult doctor on your pains. Seems like old injury.
