Hiding behind responsibilities as an excuse for lack of training and exercise.

A golfer might go running 3 days a week, after discovering what a great love and enthusiasm he has, for golf. The running will have absolutely NO EFFECT on his golf, at all, because he’s spent time making himself fit for running and no more of it made him better at / fitter for golf. Playing golf far more would make him better at golf, though.

Why do all athletes work out in a gym then if it doesn’t make them better?

I’ve no idea. I’d still be tempted to work out, even if there was no great incentive based on better performance in my preferred area of physical activity. Starting any game/sport simply increases our awareness of our bodies and I think that to work out in movements not resembling the activities we use during our games/sports, is still pretty natural to want. I would ignore the don’t-bother-with-running advice and just go for it, anyway.

Ron Hill once wrote that if you only have limited time, don’t waste it with stretching and warming up, use the time to run an extra mile or two. It always worked for me.
