Still Love to Run Long?

BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front):  Another reason why long slow distance running should not be considered 'healthy', and another reason to keep the bulk of your training short and intense.  If you want to be able to go long, without burning up hours and your health training that way, I recommend this approach:  http://www.crossfitendurance.com/.

"My three hypotheses all remain viable:
Weak form: Chronic Steady state aerobic training* (CSSAT) does nothing to prevent or reverse atherosclerosis.
Mild Form: Some effects of CSSAT may be beneficial or neutral, but they are overridden by the inflammation promoting effects of the diets favored by those who train this way.
Strong Form: CSSAT itself promotes the inflammatory state via cortisol, cytokines, inadequate recovery, etc."
