best watch for long distance running image

Q. I would like to keep doing my long distance running for my fitness and health but I would also like to have a good number of fast twitch so that I may play the sports that require them. Basketball, football, sprinting etc.
I want to get to a point where I can easily run 10K and still have good muscle fibers for the jumping, sprinting, back and forth of team sports and track.

Answer
Add jump-squats to your exercise. Do the jump-squat every other day 2 days or 3 days a week.

Hi there,

Keep running that helps build stamina and resistance. The more you run, the easy it will get, your lungs will expand and your heart will grow..with that said

1.- Eat right
2.- Get a good pair of shoes
3.- Drink water
4.- Run 3 to 4 miles every other day
5.- Rest on Sundays (and Saturdays if you get too tired)

You will start feeling that you can run longer!

Good Luck
