Hands down an...Did you honestly ask this question?<br /><br />Hands down any day easier to teach endurance, that is a matter of pacing. Its a matter of putting the time in.<br /><br />Speed... ahhh yes, speed. Seems everyone is obsessed with this topic lately.<br /><br />You want to be fast? Its going to hurt. Simple. People's pain threshold determines how fast they can actually be. That is my opinion, I believe this, I feel no pain running, it makes me feel alive and I cherish the ability to merely be able to run. <br /><br />True story: MattyO is often seen smiling when running sub 7 pace in Cleveland, Ohio. No pain, no gain (last year, not this year... this year I don't care about speed).Matty Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13447270565189789394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6612476334885251012.post-5755371227224666572011-08-18T05:17:47.088-07:002011-08-18T05:17:47.088-07:00Nice, PITA, nice!

I think speed is a God given talent or gift if you will. Granted you can teach someone to improve their time, but true speed is a gift (one I wish I had...lol). Anyone can go distance as long as they pace themselves...and if they don't pace themselves, well then there is always the option to walk ;)Heather-Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02705263558237005055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6612476334885251012.post-43514703861229018192011-08-18T04:42:13.682-07:002011-08-18T04:42:13.682-07:00I believe it would be easier to "teach" ...I believe it would be easier to "teach" the endurance athlete.

Seriously, if someone is determined and sets about taking on a task and is able to figure or work with someone who can figure out what they specifically need... you can get pretty damn far. I say that as a naturally athletically UNgifted and DISinclined person who is, however, extremely determined. <br /><br />You find your 'formula' and put in the time, you can do pretty much anything you set your mind to, Emz.XLMIChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12268964638359962511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6612476334885251012.post-12242885759089678382011-08-17T20:28:05.564-07:002011-08-17T20:28:05.564-07:00I just love you and your family!!!

You need to be able to tell your mind that this is going to be longer and slower than normal and you can adapt to that.<br /><br />You can't just tell somebody go run faster because they might be faster for 4 steps and then stop. You have to be genetically capable of going fast.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08914217156791555569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6612476334885251012.post-55998452458956143312011-08-17T15:56:26.481-07:002011-08-17T15:56:26.481-07:00I agree with Ironman by 30: I would think it would...I agree with Ironman by 30: I would think it would be easier to teach endurance to a speedy runner.Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10718941510641631363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6612476334885251012.post-89595522995381739902011-08-17T15:48:07.686-07:002011-08-17T15:48:07.686-07:00Nice picture! :)

Technique and gains in fitness can only go so far but that is not the case with God given ability to go fast. Fast is fast. <br /><br />But that being said endurance will most assuredly help you achieve greater gains in speed and even more so for those with greater ability. Slow can become less slow and fast can become faster but rarely do you see slow become fast unless other factors such as weight loss and health are involved.<br /> <br />So really I don't think either of you are necessarily right or wrong on this subject because the answer would be different for everyone.<br /><br />And before we can really have a debate I got to get all Bill Clinton on you and ask for you to define FAST?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061773215250783439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6612476334885251012.post-10436629298790670122011-08-17T14:53:19.376-07:002011-08-17T14:53:19.376-07:00Easier to teach endurance to the speedy one. endu...Easier to teach endurance to the speedy one. endurance WILL come with time and patience for most people.
