“Guy on a Buffalo” is pure, unadulterated awesomeness!
simply AWESOME!
New post, just some thoughts on stuff thats stupid.
love your blog BTW< not that it means a lot to you, have it bookmarked and I post links and quote stuff from it on my Facebook page all the time.
although the slow updates, the posts are sure gold =)
digging every post, keep it up man!
Generally good…though, I don’t fully agree with the getting away from the bear scenario/assessment. A guy that can jog for many, many miles with little to no rest will more than likely be able to sprint reasonably swiftly + arguably, even more importantly than that, he’ll be able to run 600m+ in a decent time…which would enable him to get out of sight of most threats.
Nothing personal, I just find this whole sprinting Vs jogging topic to be a rather polarized issue.
Speed endurance FTW!!!
I love your blog!

Having good speed endurance does not correlate to top end sprint speed at all. You are working with completely different mechanisms. True, the recovery between bouts of sprinting and all explosive work is aerobic, which gives carryover to endurance events but the opposite is not true, but the ability to produce power in short burts is a neuro-muscular function that must be trained specifically. Aerobic, steady state jogging is training the ability to have the highest possible AVERAGE power output while maximizing running economy. Anaerobic, short distance sprinting is training the ability to have the highest possible MAXIMAL power output. These are two completely opposite mechanisms. Anaerobic training can improve aerobic performance but having good aerobic capacity has nothing to do with short distance speed.
This is just speaking from an energy mechanism standpoint. I didn’t even talk about all of the mal-adaptations constant jogging does, like decreasing resting metabolism, decreasing muscle cross sectional area, increasing joint stress for no reason, wasting time, and, last but not least, decreasing your ability to not get eaten by a bear.
You sir, tokk the thoughts straight from my head. Good stuff, really enjoyed the read.
