I don't know who told you they don't go together, but you're wrong. Fartlek training and interval training are the best way to train for endurance and for speed. I would probably add weights if you're wanting to sprint.
So basically I've been at college for 3 years now and I'm in pretty bad shape compared to my high school track and field and XC days. I only ever used to do distance workouts during XC season with the occasional sprinting day, and sprint workouts during track season using slow distance runs as a warm-up/cool-down. So basically, nowadays I don't necessarily want to be in race condition for either XC or track, I just want to be in good physical condition for playing football/soccer and stuff with my friends so I was going to do distance runs as well as sprint workouts. I was going to do them on separate days though, as I've heard doing them on the same day is no bueno. So what I am asking is, will doing these workouts on alternating days (with appropriate rest and nutrition) hinder my long-distance or short-distance capabilities in any way?
