My team did not fare that well, but in an all deciding last game we beat the team at the top of the ladder and only just avoided relegation to the division below. Even though during the soccer season my long distance running training partly stops, it is not to say that soccer is bad for your running. A new study has found that a friendly game of soccer burns more calories and builds up more muscles than going for a run. Also, when comparing the soccer players to the runners, Danish scientists found that soccer players felt less tired after exercising than the joggers, because they were having more fun. I have to note though that this study was only done for a limited period of time (the study went for twelve weeks). Soccer can be quite intense with many short sprints. More studies have shown that in the short run, intense exercise like that will lead to better fitness than long distance running. However, over a longer period of time, your long distance running does not improve with intense exercise anymore. Why? Read Hadd's book and you know why. Base is everything for the long distance runner. I am going to leave you for know. I am going to pick a goal race for in about four months, preferably a half marathon and set up my training program tonight. I'll leave you with LaShawn's quote, a great reply when you ever get asked why you run : Don't ask me why I run. Ask yourself why you don't.
