He no doubt got bored rather than ran out of steam or stamina???
Appreciate distinction between different sports and being sport fit and just fit. Body adapts. Basketball players are very fit and I wouldn't expect long distance runners to be able to keep up with the stop/starts. By the same account I'd doubt basketball players can run for long distances non stop, even though they may cover miles on court literally.
Personally, cycling up and down South Downs with thighs screaming pain, lungs bursting for oxygen, I've felt my heart pounding in my chest as I subsequently head back down hill and ease off the pedals.
However, having read some articles about fit men in their 50s having heart attacks, don't push it so hard anymore.
May not be an expert but I've had some taxing circuit training sessions before and find that beep test comical.
Maybe you and hhiusa can do a fitness challenge against each other:cheesy:
