That is awesome. I will be the first to admit my endurance needs more work. Last summer when I was hitting the treadmill hard, I was still in the 8 minute range.
But I have this fear of eating up muscle tissue with too much cardio. I know it's "gym science" and as long as you are doing something to stimulate muscle retention and have your diet on point...it's not a big issue.
But I'm old and old habits die hard!
