The difference is the time you have to put in. Why would you workout or run for 2 hours when you can get it done in less time with less stress on your musculoskeletal system. Of course you would have to run/ bike distance, but not the 18+ miles in a normal end state marathon program. I ran my first marathon in just under 4 hours, not running in training more than 13.1 miles.<br /><br />I'd be interested to see the research you were quoting if you have the links. thanks for the discussionmikedickey123https://www.blogger.com/profile/00609987714884580317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1381535690977972082.post-25214253350195938812009-11-12T06:40:55.781-08:002009-11-12T06:40:55.781-08:00I love how you used a drugged up sprinter for the ...I love how you used a drugged up sprinter for the pic.<br /><br />It's a a balance issue. Neither is superior to the other. Both need to be done. They provide different stimulus and adaptation. Even when they provide the same adaptation, i.e. increased mitochondria or aerobic capacity, they do so via different signalling pathways.<br /><br />In terms of pure performance, the research shows that for interval/intense training to be the most beneficial it needs to be preceded by or combined with endurance work.<br /><br />To what degree depends on what you are training for, but it's why even most of the elite sprinters will do 2-3mi jogs or extensive interval training during their offseason.stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06921650222316541771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1381535690977972082.post-518396834293543602009-10-31T07:53:53.140-07:002009-10-31T07:53:53.140-07:00Check out http://www.pponline.co.uk/encyc/training...Check out http://www.pponline.co.uk/encyc/training-plan-monitoring-your-training-intensity-40879<br /><br />In long-term studys continous training at slower paces is more effective than the interval approach from a performance standpoint. It is hard to find long-term studies though, as most univeristy studies are engineered around 6 to 12 week due to students semester schedules.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984921134547639310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1381535690977972082.post-45279258141357573422009-09-22T19:57:37.376-07:002009-09-22T19:57:37.376-07:00Erin, now that I am training for a half marathon, ...Erin, now that I am training for a half marathon, I do three extra running workout a week. But to answer your question in regards to extra cardio with Crossfit, no you don't need to do extra cardio. You are burning calories and fat more efficiently while doing the CF/ interval workouts, so it is not necessary. It's not going to kill you either, but if your nutrition is sound, it isn't needed.Mike Dickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03241613260867117657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1381535690977972082.post-82830083476068048252009-09-03T21:14:24.050-07:002009-09-03T21:14:24.050-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.SavvyFitChicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09411757549007399118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1381535690977972082.post-5743169929256207362009-08-25T03:55:37.210-07:002009-08-25T03:55:37.210-07:00Hey Michael, I have a question for you.

I know interval training is proven to have great benefits, but the workouts just seem so short. Even while doing P90X (workouts are about 1-1.5 hours) I find myself missing cardio and supplementing with running sometimes. Just curious what your thoughts about this are. Also, I teach at CMU in the PA Program so I probably work with a lot of your old teachers.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214290294711291819noreply@blogger.com
