> This is also false. I was an active fitness instructor for 8 years and my cardio was great and also was a weightlifter. I could teach a two hour master class and go hard without giving out of breath. The first time I decided to do an outdoor 5K on a whim, it took me 40 minutes and I felt like I was going to die. I had to do run specific training.

This is also false. If you look at professional soccer players. They do all sorts of excercises that you never see in a game. I assume lot's of American footplayers also lift weight in training. Yet there are no weights on playing field. Shouldn't they just play games in training?
