With school, we often ask why do I need to learn X...I'm never going to use that. But we miss the point. School is like sports training: The general sets the stage for the specific. We've got to build capacity, before we exploit and refine our skills.

Marit Bjørgen won 6 Olympic golds, 18 gold medals at World Cup Championships, and 110 World Cup victories. The defining feature of her training? An immense ramp up in volume from 522 hours / year at age 20, to 910 hours / year at age 35. This was a progression of ~30 hours per year, and increased her training time from 10 hours / week to 18 hours per week. The majority of her training hours were low intensity work (below the first lactate threshold). The 910h consisted of ~850h endurance training with 92% at low intensity.
