Stating that after asking "Why would I want hunter-gatherer fitness?" (presumably a rhetorical question) implies that their understanding of hunter-gatherer fitness involved running slowly for long distances. I may be wrong but I don't see why it would have been brought up otherwise given that the article already addresses that point:
"The prospective clinical trials that have been performed
assessing the health effects of various exercise regimens
and the observational data are generally supportive of the
health benefits conferred by a hunter-gatherer style of
fitness regimen. A growing body of data indicates that
many of the benefits of exercise accrue at relatively low
to moderate levels of exercise. Continuous higher-level
activity, such as jogging 32 km/week, was not found to be
statistically better than walking 19 km/week for reducing
features of the metabolic syndrome."
