I am 20years male and I am very interested in running. I was always interested in sprints but my coach suggested me to try middle distance running. I was little bit confused with his proposal so I would like to know where is difference between these two types of runners same as something more about middle distance runners

I guess that your coach is experienced man when he suggested you such thing. In the first moment you may think that there are not some great differences between sprinters and middle distance runners but yes there are. Sprinters are runners who own great speed and have to show explosive start. Middle distance runners must have speed, durability and stamina. Also they always have to think about their opponents and must develop their own running tactic. Personally I always liked middle distance runs more than sprints.
