Seems appropriate:
Downvoting considered harmful[^]
Quote: A study published in a journal of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence found that sites that have a "downvote" button to punish bad comments lock the downvoted users into spirals of ever-more-prolific, ever-lower-quality posting due to a perception of having been martyred by the downvoters.

Perhaps we could improve our martyrdom service with a follow-up survey of membership, and frequent private e-mails by the sadists among us to assist our martyrs in danger of slacking-off in maintaining their peculiar mixture of guilt and elation, and their ecstasy in feeling unjustly persecuted and, thus, so very important ?

http://online.wsj.com/articles/run-a-mile-race-instead-of-a-marathon-1410218741[^]
Quote: The more-is-better school of exercise would hold that a single mile offers skimpy health benefits compared with the 26.2 miles that marathoners traverse. But a research paper published in July in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology says milers enjoy the same mortality-fighting benefits as marathoners. The study of 55,137 adults over a 15-year period found that those who ran less than an hour a week lived longer, as did those who ran more than three hours a week. Both groups on average lived three years longer than non-runners.

Yeah, I heard this too, short bursts of exercise are as good as stamina exercise.
|
|
|
|
|
You're thinking of high intensity training? I wonder if this study says it's "run a mile at any speed" or "run a mile flat out".

I guess that's what it could be called. The article I read suggested short sprints are as good for the heart as long distance running. Could be a load of crap for all I know though.
|

|

I do a fair bit of high intensity / hypoxic training on the bike simply because I don't get enough time to do endurance events, and my fitness (and blood work) is dramatically better than when I was doing longer / slower rides in previous years.
And from that single data point we can declare the theory true!

It can be better as it develops more muscle instead of cannibalizing unused muscle.
