ELI5: Does having a prosthetic leg make it easier to run farther since it won't get tired?

Perhaps someone with some first-hand experience can enlighten me. I was wondering since the leg won't get tired, once you get used to having a prosthetic leg, is it easier to run farther distances? Or does it hurt more in the upper leg area? I get shin splints all the time and wonder if I would run farther if I didn't have shins...

You get a lot of strain on the thigh and some pretty rough chafing at the contact areas. It's hard to *walk* long distances with standard prosthesis, and nearly impossible to run(unless you have that springy thing, but that's more bouncing than running?).
