Hi everyone,

I was wondering if sprinting once a week will help my long distance running ?
I've read some mixed reviews about it. However, my thinking is simply that I want to maintain a high ceiling of my maximum speed so that I can eventually, with time work towards it with the longer distances... If my ceiling is lowered then ultimately I will not be the fastest I could that I have been if my ceiling was higher.
I'm sure there are some loopholes in my understanding, but can someone provide me inputs here ? :)
