What it concludes

• Running long distances at a slow pace only makes you good at running long distances at a slow pace, not fast.
• Doing a high volume of low-intensity repetitions is a waste of time and does not build strength.
• Showing up slightly undertrained and healthy is better than overtrained and injured.
• Increasing strength using basic barbell movements is the best way to make sub-maximal work even more sub-maximal.
