I have previously written about the importance of strength here. In the past few days I have read two other blogs that really highlight the importance of strength, not just for performance but also for longevity.
In his blog Alwyn Cosgrove talks about strength as the greatest equalizer in sport and the importance of strength training in physical preparation. Check out his Moments of Clarity IV.
Lou Schuler from Male Pattern Fitness notes "I've cited studies in my books, and probably on MPF as well, showing that strength is correlated with longevity in men and women. The correlation between cardiovascular fitness and longevity is probably stronger, but it's pretty clear that muscular fitness matters for those seeking a longer, healthier life" in a post on 40 years of aerobics.
It would seem quite clear that no matter what some form of strength training is vital to reaching your goals.
