Do not push yourself to the end of cliffs.
Do not push yourself to the end of cliffs.
I have studied English in / for days.
The first sentence makes sense to you and which preposition would be good in the second? And is there any difference in meaning?
Thank you so much in advance.

Do not push yourself to the edge of cliffs.
Cliffs have edges, not ends. (Although the meaning is poetical, not literal.)

I have studied English for (many) days.
"For" because you are talking about duration. "In" would refer to a place or position.
