    Exercise in a "lump" vs. spread out?

    I'm trying to figure out how exercising sort of all-at-once compares to a more spread out regime. If I go backpacking, as I am want to do, and hike for, say, 8 hours (with a pack, up and down hills) for 2 weekend days, and then don't exercise for during the week, how does this compare with...

    You have 5 minutes until the tsunami hits.

    More precisely, you have 5 minuts until you need to hop in your car and drive away from the coast. Pretend you live next to the coast. As to why a tsunami, it was the best natural disaster I could think of where you have a good idea of the time-to-event. Substitute wild fire or meteor impact...
