but if you want to build muscle AND run, you're going to have to compensate by eating more. This is why Michael Phelps eats 10,000 calories a day.
So you are saying if I want to be able to be faster at running I should start eating more than usual and start going out for jogs more than usual? Like every day? (As long as feet don't hurt too bad?)

I think what he's saying is that if you don't want to end up incredibly skinny like in that photo you should increase your calorie intake. That is if you plan on running a lot.
But yes, running everyday will burn more fat than say three times a week. I still wouldn't recommend doing it for a long period of time. Muscle atrophy and all. 20-30 minutes seems like enough.

But I still want to know how to get the Sprinter's body, not the marathon runner.
Should I increase my calorie intake and at the same time start doing long sprints around my neighborhood?
I'll look like I am crazy, but is it worth it?

Sprinters weightlift and probably do that plyometrics stuff, so you'll have to do that on top of sprinting. The video I linked, in the second one I think he demonstrated what to do.

Which video was it exactly? I don't see it in the Fasting Twins one?

I think that one is mostly about form. In part two he actually sprints and further explains.

I now realize that I don't want to do that? I just want to be able to beat the offender in soccer and to do that I need to be fast enough with my feet? Also not to mention it is extremely confusing looking. I am not looking into getting track since I am not fast enough for that.
All, I really want is endurance and speed. While a muscle in my upper body here and there for the ladies.

Sprinting increases speed. Simply running will increase endurance.

Wow that's really simplified thank you. Should I take creatine with just running? Or will my upper body turn into goo?

Well, it would give you more energy and generally improve performance, but I don't think you'd want that extra water weight if you want speed. I personally wouldn't take it if I was training for speed, I'd just take it for weightlifting.
