"training achieves the same effects as much longer endurance training at much shorter times. "

Like other commentors have said, certainly not the same effects, only maybe for the effects tested. High intensity training for example has a much higher risk of injury.

I think it depends - running miles and miles at low intensity will damage my middle-aged knees more than HIT.

With zone 2 training, if you're not that fit you might be able to hit the right intensity just walking fast up a slight incline.

Maybe, maybe not. But running isn't the only method of cardiovascular exercise.

A common misconception, running isn't bad for your knees, poor form is bad for your knees.
