I believe I mentioned sprinters and not marathoners....

Well if you are able to point that out, I'm certain you have recognized the merits of HIT type of training and how it is now the preferred method to efficiently lose fat.

Let's consider the OP goals for a moment. He indicated he is plenty strong by his accounts and has difficulty in seeing his muscle...do you believe the same pattern of weightlifting will remove the fat from his body? Yes, you bring up very valid points on other contributing factors such as stress and nutrition and those also need to be factored in, but in my experience it is easier to get someone to address training then dieting/lifestyle.
