I just don't know that I'd classify the shorter of the sprint tris as an endurance event.
I guess it would depend on one's definition of endurance event, however, since a sprint triathlon is a primarily aerobic event (by a large margin ) I would consider it an endurance event.
I don't know that I'd train someone who wasn't "all in" to tris on an endurance athlete protocol. I'd probably mix it up like this person did in more of a fitness oriented manner.
I agree that it depends on how one wants to train and if endurance sport is their primary goal or simply part of an overall fitness plan. If someone wants to be "all around" fit, then a triathlon plan is a poor choice.
