Can speed practice alone help long distance endurance?

If I only practice to improve the speed in short distance, will it help increase the endurance needed for long distance? In other words, say I have trained for several months for (only) speed, could I, one day, suddenly find myself swimming long distance without feeling tired? (Obviously the opposite is not true: simply being able to swim slow long distance doesn't help improve the speed.)

  • But I hear there is a new pill you can take to help you with your endurance training. It's called Vitamin SuckItUp. Unfortunately, it is a terribly bitter pill and very few people are willing to take it. :lmao: Unfortunately most sprinters are allergic to this pill, though they do attempt to swallow it with lots of whine.
