Here is a wonderful article on the purpose of long slow distance by trainer Sabina Skala. Sabina is actually a trainer of MMA fighters. She does an excellent job of describing the effect of long slow distance training on the heart and of explaining how it differs from high intensity training.
High intensity training has become very popular lately...as evidenced by the widespread success of Crossfit, P90X, Insanity etc..
If you have a little time, there's a link to a radio interview of Sabina contained within the article. It's a fairly long program. Sabina's starts approximately mid-way through. She's very knowledgable.
Crossfit enthusiasts in particular will appreciate the entire program.
Bye for now...
