also weightlifting is fun

You existing is a theory.

descartes disagrees

France < Slovenia

I'm thinking of putting money on Slovenia, Ivory Coast and Paraguay

well. I'm not really qualified to answer this. So this is going to be mostly conjecture.....

In a certain sense its almost a ridiculous question. Because running intervals is still long distance running. You don't just run a lap, stop, and then run another lap. You run recovery laps between your intervals, but you're still consistently running-- and when I was hitting it hard at the track I would still cover some pretty serious distances, often over 10 miles....

Defining health benefits is of course difficult.

But my definition of fitness would be some combination of resting heart rate and VO² max-- and those two are obviously closely related. I really don't think that fitness can be measured any better-- especially since with this approach you can judge people across disciplines.

But in order to achieve the lowest heart rate/highest VO² max, I think a combination of both longer, slower endurance exercise, and intervals is important.

You simply can't run intervals everyday. Plus, in order to strengthen your heart most effectively you need to exercise it across a wide range. Thats the reasoning behind using heart rate monitors to monitor training. And you're not going to achieve that doing intervals alone.

no, a lot of them are models.

blind leading the blind itt

In fact humans run long distances faster, and more efficiently, than any animal. You can't compete with a cheetah over 100m, or a racehorse over 2 miles, but a fit human can run a gazelle to exhaustion over the course of a day.

edit: NY Times article, looks reasonably well researched

We must have been the most boring hunters ever, jogging our prey into exhaustion.

I finally got off my ass and booked the big appointment yesterday. Exactly 5 weeks from today, I'll be getting myself rendered sterile. TR will be provided.

twittering it?

No twitter, it's too short to build up a good story

Vasebook?

clown, last longer france vs slovenia??

that's what she said

in before mets/

identi.ca imo

She married me; it's too late to complain

As far as I'm concerned France is not even in this World Cup so it's an auto win for me.

Did anyone see the rehersals for the drawing btw? Charlize Theron said Ireland instead of France when she drew them, pretty awesome.

omg i would never sterile myself

Your TRs suggest you're trying really hard though

France won fair and square.

Ireland werent even ahead.

interesting article. There has been a big movement in running shoe manufacturing in recent years towards more simplistic approaches.

Its biased because I tend to post when I fail miserably.

Consider:

- Women getting their tubes tied is major surgery; vasectomy takes 20 minutes and recovery is two days
- No more condoms
- All hormonal birth control for women dampens sex drive to a greater or lesser degree, depending on the woman
- Kids are really ****ing expensive

There's also one unique to me:
- Every time my wife gets pregnant, she risks serious health issues, including blindness and kidney failure
