Yeah, I agree. Running a marathon or half-marathon needs to be looked at as VERY sport specific and not a method for general fitness. If running doesn't appeal to you, then please go do something else. You don't have to run. I'm just sick AF of non-runners bitching about running. They literally talk more about running than runners.
With the Jack Daniels running plans, I found that they have a lot of low pace easy runs. I'd much rather take a rest from running (the junk miles) and do strength training as I think this will yield a more balanced level of fitness. I fully understand the benefit to running economy in easy pace runs but there's better ways to work that it without junk miles IMO.
