LPT: Recognize dogmatic teachers, influencers or "gurus" and always take their advice critically.
A few years ago, someone said something like
"Don't be stupid! Skip all those useless hours of "roadwork"! HIIT delivers the same results in a few minutes!"
No one wants to be stupid and waste time, but after decades of roadwork for solid endurance myself as a fighter and knowing that fighters in Thailand jog 20-60 km per week AND knowing how the top endurance athletes train ... I was sure there was something WRONG about this "HIIT-HYPE".
Fortunately I read "ultimate MMA conditioning" by Joel Jamieson, which deals with this subject in detail.
HIIT has its place in some top sport specific programs, but it's not the ultimate solution for every day.
