Got this off Tom Furmans site and it's a very interesting article in the Art Devany, Evolutionary Fitness mode. THe kicker is that I knew Mark Sisson and rode with him a bit in the early eighties when I was a cyclist riding with the Palo ALto Bike club guys.He definitely knows from where he speaks as a athlete and a full understanding of the doping scene as well as one of the earliest administrators of thriatlon drug testing.

He has a blog as well that is very interesting

"And in those simple beautiful movements I remembered what was really important in training; that consistency trumps intensity; all the time. That intensity is born from consistency. That one cannot force it, one has to lay in wait for it, patiently, instinctively, calmly and be ready to grab it when Grace lays it down in front of you."

I have many books that agree with this training philosophy. I hate endurance training, so i take to this school of thought as well. I've always noticed that endurance/marathon/triatholon people don't really look healthy. Atleast to me anyways... Muscle is beautiful.
Rif,
Great post and great link - even Kenneth Cooper now recommends only 30 minutes of running 3 days a week for "cardio" health.
Ultra-endurance might be a nice place to visit but you certainly shouldn't live there.
yeah,had I known then...
but hey,I was running that long for a variety of reasons as I suspect most are.
