Not to mention the difference between long-distance running and bodybuilding, even the same running, long-distance running and sprint are different. Sprint is anaerobic exercise, and long-distance running is aerobic exercise. Although they are all running, the energy supply system is completely different. Sprint is anaerobic metabolism, focusing on the explosive force of muscles, focusing on fast muscles, while long-distance running is aerobic metabolism, testing the endurance of muscles, focusing on slow muscles, with different training focuses.
For ordinary people who want to gain muscle, it is obvious that sprint is better than long-distance running, because long-distance running will consume your muscle tissue. Needless to say, just look at the physique of long-distance runners and sprinters. Obviously, sprinters have relatively more developed muscles, while long-distance runners have relatively less muscles. You can choose jogging when you exercise to lose fat, but it is best not to exceed 45 minutes, because when you are running long distance, the ratio of glycogen and fat in your muscles will change obviously in about 45 to 60 minutes, and your body will enter the so-called "gluconeogenesis". Glycogen metaplasia is the process by which your liver converts non-glucose-based substances into usable energy for human body. So doing aerobic exercise for a long time will actually reduce muscle tissue.
