Did you? Conclusion, first sentence: “There is reasonably strong evidence for concluding that an approximate 80-to-20 ratio of LIT to ThT/HIT intensity training gives excellent long-term results among endurance athletes.”

So why color it different in the conclusion? So back to question, what is he selling?
