Tommy, I recommend taking up sprinting. On top of making more sense it doesn't make you disgusting:

Plus, it doesn't take as long. win/win.
Plus, if you are in a hurry, sprinting can come in handy in day to day life. Like, you drive the 20 miles as opposed to jogging it like a dumbass and then sprint from the parking lot to the door. You shave, like, hours off the marathoners running time to get to the same destination.
Not to mention sprinting's clear advantages in basic survival skills. Mugger? Sprint. Fire? Sprint. The runs? Sprint. No one ever "jogs" for their life. Maybe if you were being threatened by an extremely slow but exceptionally determined bear.
What kind of sprinter are you looking for? I would say the 400 is the toughest event out there, it is a sprint unless you want to talk 300/400 meter hurdles then that may be the toughest event or steeplechase.
LOL at you losers sprinting and getting winded in 50 meters when the zombies attack. I can run for a long time at a fairly good pace 6 min/mile or faster and get a good safe distace from those slow walking zombies and then when they catch up can run some more.
