\ QUOTE=lewdog;10678922]Why is running equated to being fit?[/QUOTE]
No idea.
I don't think there's any broad definition. Personally, I find that I have my own standards. I need to be able to run under a 6 minute mile and still lift heavy by my standards. I equate my own personal fitness with being able to run forever in soccer and still lift.
I would never push those standards on anyone else. And I'm sure as I get older, my own personal definition will change.
