I don't believe this at all. Take Captain America at the beginning of Winter Soldier. He runs about 20 miles in under an hour, and right after, he feels perfectly fine, and is off to work. I'm not saying that we need to be superpowered, but I do think that once you reach a level of physical fitness, it is really just about maintaining your perfect fitness, and improving in the ways that you need to improve. Once you reach a certain level, you heal faster, and feel perfect, even when you're running at full speed for an hour straight on the treadmill, or lifting more weight with many reps than most normal people.
I feel the idea is to get to a point where you can do more than even the fittest people, faster, stronger, longer, and with more stamina, endurance, focus, and endurance. Once you get to that point, then torturing yourself in a "mere workout" is kind of silly. At that point, you start realizing that bigger challenges are out there, like playing professional football, becoming a boxer/wrestler/martial artist, of even joining the military. If you're going to torture yourself in a workout, and you're already fit, then at that level, you want it to count for something, whether that is money, or the chance to make a difference.
I don't dread working out because I feel great after, and because my workout regimen/nutrition help me look and feel great all the time, and be optimal, means that it becomes nearly impossible to dread my workout, even if I have to push myself past my limits. Just a few weeks ago, I ran a marathon on one day. I wasn't really even tired, despite it being challenging, and I wondered when I would do it again. I ran another marathon a day later. And I felt even better, to the point that I considered running a marathon every day. I just might do that, for a few months, just to say that I did that for a while. Realistically time is very important to me, so that is the only reason I won't be able to do that forever.
If I don't dread running a marathon (26 miles) every day, then what workout can I really be honestly dread? How much harder can I push myself to the point that I need to get more value from what I'm doing? I mean I enjoy every minute of it, and I only get better the more I do, to the point that Freerunning and Parkour is next. Those things are extremely difficult, but they don't feel difficult when you do them because your body is so perfect, and feels so perfect, and you're doing amazing things, so difficulty becomes a completely relative thing.
Captain America... silly... parkour...
Got it.
