Thanks!

No worries, the new format takes some getting used to. My sister is running a charity bike ride in Sonoma County this weekend, so I had to miss SF Veg, and this weekend's expo in order to preride and mark the course. Bummer, I would love to get the chance to meet you and Robert Cheeke in person. Another day. The expo looks great, I hope it goes off well!

My specific comment about the OP; the article is discussing athletic performance but does not touch on health at all, really. Its main argument for rejecting lactic anaerobic training is that this pathway is irrelevant to performance in actual sports, not that it is irrelevant to health. Why are people here taking this article as evidence that HIIT is an unsound approach to health?
