I'll train for a month leading up, which means continuing with weights 3 times per week and adding a sprint work out once per week. I'll basically sprint 1.5 miles and walk 1.5 miles (sprint the straights, walk the turns). It's actually a grueling workout. I'm also at my thinnest when I head to an actual race.
So when I suggest to team chub that they switch to sprint workouts they tell me I'm crazy.

You can't out-train a bad diet. A lot of those people have a "I run so I can eat" mentality. Personally speaking, I think that's ridiculous. Diet is a huge part of overall health. And just because I can run 15 or 20 miles at a time doesn't mean I'm healthy overall.
