Hey I just got back from playing football with my friends. I am definetly the fastest runner there and for the first like 5 plays i can sprint really far and catch touchdown passes. But I get tired really fast and am just out of breath and winded way before anyone else. To improve this should I do say 10 40 yard sprints a day or every other day or should i run say 2 miles a day. What would be better?
sprints with rest periods. more sports specific compared to long distance without any rest

10 40 yard sprints (20 seconds of rest in between each)
10 20 yard sprints (15 seconds of rest in between)
4 100 yards sprints (30 seconds of rest in between)
you could also run up a hill or stairs.
Do this and you should see improvements. I can't really comment on long distance because we didn't really do it in football, but we did a lot of sprints and high intensity things (hills, bleachers, ropes, etc.) and
A couple things you could try if your not doing them already is one, sprint will dragging a tire about 20 feet behind you. The other drill you could try is have someone around your size, grab onto the back of your jersey, hold on while remain upright, and you sprint a certain distance. Both will help with your take off speed and overall leg strength
Sprints, Circuit training with Olympic Lifts. Never long distance.
