but dwain chambers the sprinter in that photo,has been banned for taking steroids "as do most top sprinters" they also lift weights which most distance runners dont.
when you do
HIIT or weights you tear down muscle tissue and create protein synthesis,which builds muscle.
when you distance run your body doesnt want to carry heavy muscle so it has no need to build any.

you cant,but you can use it to burn fat,and minimise muscle loss by feulling up before/during/after.
