What commenters say. Highly recommended for understanding muscle fiber types, the impact of jogging on sprinting, and fast-twitch fiber conversion.

On “Fast twitch muscle”

[video This video is a good summary of muscle fiber types. I wouldn't focus to much on fast twitch muscle training if you are just starting. You need to get the basics of the sport down first.

On “Will jogging 4km 6 times a week ruin my time?”

thats true and it probably will, given enough exposure and time, if your goal is to be a faster sprinter then running that distance is at best harmless and at worst making you slower link to this video

On “How long does it take for fast twitch fibers to become slow twitch?”

link to this video that’s the link if anybody is interested. He got Dr Andy Gaplin explaining it. They even discussed about possible muscle fiber composition of Zion Williamson and Russell Westbrook.
