What do you think, is it better when a runner has longer legs or not? I’m asking this because my legs are a bit shorter than I’d like them to be, so I’m wondering am I supposed to take up running or maybe choose some other activity. What do you think about that? I know that certain build is not considered suitable for particular sports.
Oh, I don’t think that the length of your legs has anything to do with running performance. Ok, maybe it does, but that’s not the most important factor. I don’t think that there are special characteristics that a person who wants to start running must have. As we all know, the most important is motivation and persistence. If you lack those two aspects, you can have a perfect body type and you won’t do anything. So, don’t even think about that. You just start running and do it properly and everything is going to be alright. I know, for example, certain basketball players which have an average height and still they’re among the best in the world. Just believe in yourself.
In my opinion, it doesn't matter... Anyone can be a runner. As long as you have that strong urge to really become a runner, no matter how long or short your legs are, it won't be a hindrance.
