Lon Kilgore article

Lon Kilgore had an excellent article up on the Crossfit Journal. (Subscription required).

One paragraph is especially relevant here, I'll cut and paste it below.

The paragraph makes me hopeful that my squat will have some carry-over to my emerging running ability.

That said, it works out nicely the other way around.
Apply all the energy into the weight work and move the
squats up 40 percent or more and there will be more
muscle to carry the athletes over those distances later
on in the spring. In fact, I’ve had success with football
players who listened to me and didn’t bother with any
form of running until just a month before summer
practices started. When an athlete is using 450-500 lb.
in the squat, he’s going to be able to run not only longer
but faster. All he has to do is get his cardiovascular
system fit, which can be done in a rather short period of
time. Then he’s good to go.
