Completing a long Sunday endurance workout ensures that endurance training is achieved for the week.

“Now, my week starts on Sunday, I'm sure that regardless of how the rest of the week goes, that I got my endurance training in, and of course I'm going to want to, and I will do endurance training other days during the week, but if something comes up or I happen to get sick or I'm really behind in terms of work and I can't get other workouts in, this Sunday long jog or hike really provides that fundamental, I can honestly say foundation, for cardiovascular fitness and endurance that I can hang my hat on and say, okay, I've got that one in the bag, and I can then look to other days of the week to focus on other aspects of fitness.”
