Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

You are allowing time for the muscle tissue to recover and repair, as well as flush out residual waste products. If you overtrain, it's actually counterproductive. The key is to maximize the efficiency of your training for your goals.
Here's the deal, the Hight Intensity wreck your legs sprint training builds the explosive power you need for a sprint, or a short term burst of energy to climb a hill as well as increasing your pulmonary function.
The Aerobic endurance training builds the cardiovascular and pulmonary capacity as well as your "Slow twitch" muscles. These are the muscle groups you use when doing a long, extended effort.
