Long, slow distance will help ensure you are able to use speed when tired (muscle fiber recruitment), but it does not improve your top speed and acceleration (muscle fiber improvement).

Each event has an optimal range of the speed to endurance ratio on that continuum, and depending on how the tactics unfold, athletes will be an advantage or disadvantage based on their ratio.


There´s a lot more than muscle fiber recruitment behind speed and endurance training, you know.

From a metabolic view:

Speed = anaerobic capacity
Endurance = aerobic capacity

It surely depends from the event and an individual how much of each is required. These capacities should be IN BALANCE with each other.
