    So the author maintains that fitness itself is not enough. We need an exercise regime that improves:

    • strength.
    • stability.
    • aerobic efficiency, and.
    • aerobic threshold (VO2max).

    Training for a marathon once a year should get you the last 2. For strength and stability runners need to incorporate some kind of cross training (which is a good idea anyway to prevent injury). Swimming is my go to sport for cross training as it provides strength (doing sprints) and stability (builds core muscles) as well as promote good breathing technique. And it’s low impact so your joints get a break from pounding the pavement.

      I’m eventually going to get around to planning out time and exercises for each category,

      At the moment I’m just running and biking. And not a significant amount of either of them.

      Swimming should be helping with the aerobic side too… Dam I should just start swimming.

      This article only discusses the fitness side, not diet.

      From what I’ve heard most people struggle staying vegan for extended periods, like half year to two years.
