I am curious what type of people are you categorizing in "gymgoers that can barely run a mile". Certainly no the ones who follow Starting Strength program, since with personal experience I can say my mile time is way better it is now with SS, than it was before. Maybe the "gym bros" who are more into hypertrophy? :-)
- stefs 4y agosure, the person only doing strength training will have better endurance than a person doing nothing at all. i also agree strength training is usually critically neglected compared to cardio (which is slowly changing tho). it's the toxic "cardio kills your gains" broscience that's harmful, as it leads to people actively avoiding healthy cardio. i've seen strength athletes use the escalator instead of the stairs because they tried to avoid getting their heart rate up outside the squat rack. this is counterproductive to both health and athletic ability.
- whydoyoucare 4y agoAh, gotcha. I agree there is a significant amount of harmful "broscience" doing rounds in a typical lifting area. :-)
