Advice to get ready to run long distance?

Volleyball starts on August 12, and i know we are going to have to run a couple miles.


Right now, i am no where near going to be able to run the miles without having a heart attack. lol.


So, does anyone have any advice on how to get into shape quicker?Advice to get ready to run long distance?
DO NOT run 4-5 times a week. That's a shin splint or other injury waiting to happen. That's putting way too much stress on your shins and joints.





I would advise you to run 2 times a week, but when you do it, go until you can't take another step.





You can go 4-5 times a week, as long as you do a light workout, but that won't do you much good. I would say that on one running day, do long-distance, then the next running day, do sprints, for speed.Advice to get ready to run long distance?
Start slowly, running 5-6 times a week, then in about two weeks increase your length or try running twice a day, in the morning and at night, if you really want to be prepared to run many miles.
Run or walk at a comfortable pace. And get someone to run with.
