I still think there is a combination that equals fit.
There is a ace in Texas that involves bench pressing your weight and running a half marathon. 13.1 miles.
The more time you loft you your weight it drops off time on your half as credit.
Its a concept that takes strength and endurance both into account. As I have transitioned from a lifter to a runner i find this very interesting because it creates a crossroad.
If you were a Seal or any other type of Spec Ops guy this is where the rubber meets the road.

I wasn't targeting you with my initial post. It's the other poster who keeps coming in here WAY off base and spouting garbage.
Running is important to you, and that's fine. You are more fit than me with running and I am more fit than you with lifting (**** you bench!). I just hope you realize that the definition of fit should not just be centered on the 1970's approach that simply relates to running. Because that's how it comes off when you talk about it. You yourself aren't fit by my definition because you are weak in squats/deads just as I am not fit in your definition because I don't run a sub 6 min mile.
I follow a lifting log of a lifter who deadlifts 3x his bodyweight, squats 2.5x bodyweight and benches 2x his bodyweight. He also runs a mile sub 6 minutes. That is as pretty ****ing fit as it gets.
