but not as the same pace through out the game....
If you're conditioned as a sprinter rather than a long distance runner, that doesnt mean you dont have the endurace for alot of running.

Do we have any sport scientists on here ?
I'd be interested to learn about this being a runner myself.

I'm more a sprinter because I play alot of football, but I could still run 6 miles with Ralphy, he'd find it easier and do it in a better time but I'd probably still be able to complete it. I guess its getting a fine balance. I'm sure Ralphy can sprint as well, but again I'd find it easier and be able to go it more often, quicker and over long distances.

even a Marathon runner should do a variety of running excercises. I know my mate used to build up the total running length as the months got closer to an event, but never ran more than about 20miles in one go. He also did hill reps and 400m reps.
I would guess a footballer would do a lot of shorter style reps. It's at close to full pace and by repeating you'd build up the general level of fitness/stamina. Throw in the odd longer run.
Ralphy, it takes a long while for your legs to get thin, and probably by running a bit more than 6 miles every day. What I would say is he never bloody looked healthy when training for Marathon's.

I don't have the build of a sprinter, too slow off the mark.
I find running along at a steady 8 mph for an hour easy though.

I think natural build has something to do with it. My mate is into adventure racing, and is tall but slightly built and very good at 5k+. I'm his height, but heavily built and unfit, but over 50yards I'd have him in a sprint becase I think my body is better built for that.

Free running? your build doesn't matter, having no brains and balls of steel is key!

Free running is ace. I like to do it when I'm drunk. and sometimes when I'm sober. But that just tends to be running along the wall of my front garden on the way out of my house.

So that means Pook must have good lungs and be quite fit to be a Wanker!
