    The statistics are clear. The greater the amount of time, effort and
    intensity, the more difficult it is to stay on task.

    Maybe you will beat the odds, maybe not.

    Quoted message said:

    Ah. I see you don't know me. Odds are not really as relevant as
    personality - I like things to be difficult and am more inclined to give
    up if they are easy.

    Time will tell.

    Quoted message said:

    There's another thing too - my running time is the only time in my day
    that is MINE, not my employer's or my students' or my children's or my
    husband's. That's why I like to do it for a good long while 😉.

    I fully understand.

    Quoted message said:

    However, your one-size-fits-all nostrum explains something that has
    always puzzled me - why people are told to stick to moderate exercise
    for 30 mins per day despite the proven benefits of greater intensity.

    What proven benefits are you speaking? Studies show that a 30-45
    minute brisk walking regimen 5-6 times weekly will give you all the
    aerobic workout you need for improving and maintaining
    cardiorespiratory health.

    : Time will tell.

    Time has already told. Nobody knows Jane's body better than Jane. I don't
    understand how you can argue with Jane over what works best for Jane's body.

    The proven benefits that Jane has experienced in herself. Jane apparently
    wasn't in any of the "studies" that you mention. "Studies" are based on
    numbers of criteria on numbers of people. Jane is an individual who is
    perfectly capable of basing valid conclusions on observations she makes of
    herself.

    How do you know what Jane needs to improve and maintain her
    cardiorespiratory health? You are assuming that Jane is typical of the
    study participants, and she may not be. If I had to choose who I believe --
    the "study" or Jane's observations about herself -- Jane wins the
    credibility contest hands down.

    In my opinion, scientific studies are no substitute for knowing what works
    best for your own body.

    Not in light of looking at her exercise regimen and its life long
    consistency, not even close yet.

    I don't know if Jane knows what is best for her body and neither do
    you.

    I'm not arguing that what she is doing is incorrect, I am simply
    stating, statistically, she has little to no chance of keeping that
    intensity up for a lifetime.

    So?

    Not all.

    Who are you? Tarzan?

    Quoted message said:

    cardiorespiratory health?

    See above.

    Quoted message said:

    I assumed nothing about Jane, Tarzan.

    Quoted message said:

    You can believe who and what you want.

    Believe this. Statistically, she's doomed.

    You give Jane a lot of credit.

    I don't.

    You slip over the edge of sanity quite frequently, roose.

    Yes, quite frequently.

    And you stay there for quite some time, too.

    Credibility is something that you lost a LONG time ago, roose.
