The 32,000 person study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (1999) I mentioned above found that there are.
Can you refer me to any peer-reviewed research linking sprint training or weight training with equal or greater benefit in any of the health indicators that Paul Williams's found distance running improved? Or any research demonstrating that strength training induces neurogenesis?
If not, then please stop sharing what you personally "doubt" or "suspect" is the case. It's just not constructive.

I can't see that. > equal or greater benefit in any of the health indicators Insulin resistance, for sure. > strength training induces neurogenesis What google informs me about neurogenesis is that it's tied to VOmax training, which long distance running is not especially good for. Interval training, a la tabata intervals, is best for that. I very much suspect the mental benefits from actual sports exceed running. The stimulation from tennis or basketball would surely do your mind more good than pounding pavement.
