 |  Endurance, Fitness vs Health,and the Great Alberto Salazar
Americas Greatest Marathoner(IMO) Suffered a Heart Attack Sunday in Oregon Salazar suffered heart attack; condition upgraded - USATODAY.com and already the powers that be are saying he had a "Family History" of Heart Problems. What a load... Let me say first I wish Alberto a full recovery. He will always be a hero to me. ..that said,What he had(at one Time) was the "heart of a Lion" a strength of will like i've never seen. Like many endurance athletes from front runners to back of the packers, he joins a long list of Victims of the "endurance training myth". I hope maybe NOW, people will wake up and see that endurance training is unhealthful and wreaks havoc via inflammation to the arteries and other endoctrine system problems. I was one too and had to stop training due to chronic exhaustion. Then lo and behold, I felt stronger as time went on. I'm very blessed. some arent so lucky. From Jim Fixx to Grete Waitz, and thousands of others, the message is clear: Endurance is not for humans. Humans are built for short intermittant anaerobic stress with longer periods of mild exercise. Mark Sisson, a former world class Triathlete and US Marathon trials top dog has lots to say... Mark’s Daily Apple » Blog Archive » A Case Against Cardio (from a former mileage king) He's devoted his career to enlightening former Treadmill lab rats like me as does Art Devaney... Art De Vany: Endurance Training: Death, Injury, and Risk Archives please folks, check this stuff out you owe it to yourself Peace. |
