Runners run
The Greatest of All Time
I also hear that running more is more beneficial to distance runners than not running more. Does anybody know of any peer-reviewed studies on this?
Lazy idiot
I do. It's in the Global Exercise Training Manual. Volume II, page 44.
Tick tock
I've got a fever...
What you've said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.
Good Bad & The Monkey
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.
Poor baby
I see you've been browsing the Swamp Library. Sorry we didn't have the title you were looking for this morning, but the Global Exercise Training Manual, Vol. II is a good one as well.
Idiot. It is on page 42.
Right on Hereford...

Hey spaniel, thanks for your thoughts. I agree with everything you say except this: what you are describing as VO2max is really submax VO2. The true VO2max is your VO2 measured at both maximal sustained exertion and maximal personal fitness.
Just to be clear, those of you still engaged in a pedantic discussion of VO2max are doing so for fun, right? Because you're scientists or whatever and you enjoy this stuff? Right?
You people are far too much fun. BTW, pick good journals next time, not just those that publish LPUs.
LPU = least publishable unit. Every manuscript has a home.
