Yes - this is key - a bit of everything and not a slave to one means. I guess in my ramblings this is what i too aim for… (non athlete types)
its just there are those in my gym (trainers) who slave only by one means and kill off the others.
I was down to 5.7% FAT at least when training for mid distance with no diet - Long slow distance and with interval training as well. If i did weights too, i would have been slower but would have looked heaps better… Then add in diet…
