Can everyone run as fast as they can (no sprinting) for longer distances with training? I want to be able to run my fast 400 meter times but for the whole 5/10K. I know the elites run close to their max leg speed (not sprinting) for 26 miles so anyone can do it?
The question rephrased would be can all 400/800 meter distance runners train for a 10K and run close to their 400/800 speeds the whole distance or is longer distance only good for people are slow 400/800 runners.
Yes, everyone can run as fast as they can.
Yes. And don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
The obvious answer is: pure hate.
So can a 50 second 400m runner run a marathon at 50s per 400m? No, of course not.
I said not sprinting, 50 seconds is sprinting. Bekele held a 60 second 400m for 5000 meters.

I am not so sure about this one.
6/10. Got some bites and the question was a little confusing. Not bad.
Bump
I have never tried to run as fast as I only can)))
Yes, I can actually run the marathon at a faster pace than the 400 meter.

Good for you with your paces, but I can run a marathon with theactual time faster than my 400m time. The 400 is so short I get bored and distracted and by the time I get back on track, 3 hours have passed and it’s just too big of a deficit to make up.
And no, not just anyone can run as fast as they can, like I can.
