Fitness- running and muscle?

Question from Becky S
Say you don’t run like ever, but you workout a lot. You have a six pack. Mad toned legs(thighs, calves, butt). and mad toned arms.
One day you decide to go for a run… would you be fast or slow? and would you have good stamana?
okay what if i added 20 minutes of walking on a treadmill 6 times a week?

You would probably be surprised at how quickly you would get tired and winded. You have to build up your stamina, regulate your breathing, and learn to pace your running correctly. You have to work at it.
You would not have any significant stamina. Running and working out are two different animals.
You would be rediculously slow. Well, I amend that slightly. You would probably be a decent sprinter, but lengths of anything over a half mile would be out of the question. The SAID principle, specific adaptations to implied demands, states that in order to be good at something you have to train at it. And without any training at running, or any cardio at all that you have mentioned, there would be no endurance at all. If anything, all the extra muscle in the legs, and upper body, would slow him down since he or she is not coordinated in using his body to run efficiently. I used to be that type- I ran about a 30minute 5k and that was as far as I could go. Now I run marathons. You gotta run to be a good runner, simple as that.
