I'm like, yeah, all movement is good and it's gonna be net productive for any health measure.

Just moving around more is a net positive thing.

But if we want specific adaptations to muscle, bone, cardiovascular system adaptations, you do need enough of a stressor and a stimulus to drive that adaptation to actually get those benefits.

So I will give people the the quick answer they want to hear.

For most people, the endurance of there or them sorry, the interference effect is not really a big deal.

Really high end specified athletes or people with high training volumes, that's where that starts to become more important.

Do we know that to be true though?

I think from a like an applicable training standpoint, most people if they're so detrained that they're gonna start to get fitter with almost anything that you give them over time.

And I, you know, there's there's been some like review papers that have discussed this theoretically.

And my viewpoint on it is that, you know, you can get fit at both for a while, but eventually there is gonna be that degree of specificity that you're going to need to branch out or you're gonna probably have you're gonna hit a ceiling.

Right, of like what you can truly achieve long term.

And that's where hybrid training is different than specified training, right?

Like a hybrid athlete with someone who's trying to maximize both, but they're always going to be sacrificing some degree of their strength or some degree of their endurance versus the pure endurance.

The guys that just ran sub to one hour marathons, they're probably strength training to support that, but they're endurance attribute.

You know how much Kipchogi weighs.

Oh my gosh.

Just probably less than me.

Like maybe 60 kilos, 140 pounds.

Most elite athletes are to do some degree probably to support, at least because we do have data that suggests that resistance training reduces injury risk or improves running economy.

But like at that extreme end of sport, you are rewarded by efficiency.
