How can I become both a good sprinter and long distance runner? (if even possible)?

if your trying to be good at sprinting and long distance your really only ever to get so far with both of them. you can't do them both to the best of your ability. i've noticed this first hand from running cross-country and then changing to sprinting in track, your sprint won't be as fast :( but if you just focus on one then you can get that one really good and just make the other one decent at least! hope this helped
