Random access method, terminal device, network device, and storage medium. Described is a random access method, comprising: a terminal device determines a first physical random access channel (PRACH) resource set and a second PRACH resource set, the first PRACH resource set being used for the PRACH sending during a first-type random access process, the second PRACH resource set being used for the PRACH sending during a second-type random access process, at least one of first PRACH resources comprised in the first PRACH resource set being different from second PRACH resources comprised in the second PRACH resource set; the terminal device determines a target PRACH resource from the first PRACH resource set or the second PRACH resource set, the target PRACH resource being used for the PRACH sending during a random access process.
