Monday Boxing: It’s-a-Sprint-Not-a-Marathon Edition

Human beings are not intended to run 26.2 mi. at a steady pace without respite, not at 80°F, not at 40°F. It was a myth all along, and, anyway, Pheidippides died afterwards!

The Paleo/Primal/Grok guys have this one correct. Evolution dictates that waiting, sprinting and then pouncing are the preferred methods of physical exertion. Short bursts, high-intensity, low-carb. Prolonged sitting also a no-no.
