AMEN

Long narrative article. Good read. I feel sorry for author's mom. But.. it seems to be pushing crossfit and BioForce above all. 80/20 is kinda common approach: https://www.amazon.com/80-20-Running-St ... B00IIVFAEY

But other than that and quitting coffee... I didn't get much out of the article..

May I ask you what would be practical application in TB training based on this article?

I might missed something, of course.

I suppose I'm at the stage of my "awakening" regarding LSS and integrating it back into my training. I read Joel's book quite some time ago to be honest I found it hard going. I haven't tried to apply any of his material to TB, just using TB as written. I had spent a long buying the idea that LSS was bad for you, yet I knew I always felt "fitter" when I did it. A Read was the clincher though. He has totally changed my thinking around this along with TB and KB. I'm on a year hiatus form reading any other fitness books as I don't want to be distracted....might make an exception for Dan John's new book though... oh and coffee is non negotiable....

Oh..I see. I did feel "reborn" in a way after doing BB.. So I hear you. I didn't mean to sound sarcastic, so don't take it in a wrong way. Actually, I feel bad that I can't really keep consistent long runs with my Black. It really kills my recovery. But next year BB is getting closer every day

No worries...definitely have changed my approach in the last 4 months and feel much better for it.. I had been training hard most of 2016 and was really tempted to skip BB but I'm really glad I didn't... prob move to black after it...
Always had a nagging doubt about the anti LSS movement and I have overloaded on HITT in the past and felt like crap..just good to see a respected figure like JJ backing up what TB is all about..good luck with your training in the months ahead

Great call mate......... one of the best things I ever did was give up reading Mens Heath type magazines about 5 years ago...... fundamentals / principles are the key.

Men's fitness magazines= the dark side of the moon

I can see that you dig Pink Floyd, mate

Sure do

Good article, JJ always delivers....and his own program seems to fall in line with Black, "2 HIIT per week". I don't think I'll ever be able to drop the caffeine though. The 3 times I tried ended in utter failure.
