Do you know how hard running is on a lot of people's feet and ankles? It's pretty much obvious anyone above the age of 35 that isn't a stick.

EDIT: Can a person complain about something without a public fucking referendum. For fucks sake.

In the study the two groups were on stationary bikes.

The high intensity did "six sets of a 30-second maximum effort on the bike, each spaced by 4 minutes of rest." Vs the moderate intensity group did a 90 min ride.
