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.

OK, that's interesting. Makes sense too.

Excellent - I ran a mile this evening... so three more years you'll have to put up with me.

Well, heck - that's obvious! The only reason I've lived this long is that I can run a mile faster than anyone who's ever chased me.
Will Rogers never met me.

You don't have to run faster than the bull, you just have to run faster than your mate!!

I used to be a miler, which was great for my condition, but when going longer distances you end up less running and more jogging, and jogging is downright bad for you.
Cycling is far healthier, anyway.

I usually do a mix between dumbbell exercises and short sprints. Over the years, I've done cycling, swimming, some running to train for a tough mudder, martial arts, crossfit. I like what I'm doing now which makes it healthier for me. It's all going to be healthier than sitting on your ass.

I have been running about 5 KM at 6-12 KM/hr speeds followed with 20 minutes of cycling. I believe that is good enough for me. To hell with these studies. Period.

You haven't noticed all the money they make? If everyone was healthy they would go out of business!

Ah, you mean last years/decades research that says fat is bad for you.
Nah, sorry, you arent up to date on the latest Ryan, now fat is good and transfats are bad.

Good point.
Some people might lose weight by chopping off their ass.

Eating more fat implies eating less sugar.

SO you cut down on smoking by eating more curries do you?
|
|
|

One can replace calories with calories (fat for sugar), but not replace a smoke with curries.
Unless I can smoke the curries.

Perhaps you eat the same sugar and eat more fat and get obese?
