Because one of the most effective ways to train aerobic endurance is to run appropriate workouts, such as various kinds of tempo runs and long intervals.
Bingo. Mostly for variety, but a slight aerobic boost as long as you don't overdo it.
Talk to Ryan Hall. He said if the wheels can't turn fast your training was not good.
is "almost" a 100% aerobic
It's not almost 100% aerobic, more like 93%
Because it's aerobic at a much faster pace than just running as much as possible pace.
Actually you could be doing only that and could be very successful.
However, if there were any pace changes or you have to be covering surges, hit a headwind and want to keep the pace, or hit a tailwind and could run faster with lower heart rate and so much more, you would be in trouble.
If your goal was longevity in sports, yes, working with the Maffetone method for instance and developing your aerobic capacity to it's max, while maintaining and improving health, yes you would succeed. Maybe even win some races. You can smartly add cycling and train 30+ hour weeks, without breaking down ever, by using a low heart rate protocol. (Low heart rate doesn't mean slow !)
Want to race ? Prepare for battle though ! That is a different ball game !

The great aerobic capacity mystery. Or is it just general ignorance?

Yes Jon, you are generally ignorant.

Sure, sure that's the only percentages that have ever been used.
Some have said the mile is more like 60% Aerobic and 40% Anaerobic.
Runner's World was a good magazine in the 1980s.
Things have not changed that much, plus there is Glycolytic and Alactic contributions as well.
Workouts are designed to stress your body so that it adapts to better handle that stress. Just running isn't necessarily a big stress on the aerobic system. Running at VO2 max pace peaks the aerobic system which causes it to adapt. Other workouts stress the aerobic system, too.
I agree somewhat, though. It is useless to do some workouts while training for a marathon. Lactate tolerance for example. Pretty useless.
Because running economy is important
By doing workouts marathon pace will seem relatively easy. When you are running that long you want it to be pretty comfortable, at least for the first half.
You are not training metabolism in a vacuum. A large range of paces can give you ~100% aerobic metabolism and the marathon is all about pushing the fastest of those paces higher. So strategies to make you incrementally more economical at that pointy end are what marathon training is all about.
Doing SOME anaerobic work encourages the aerobic capacity to function higher. If your goal M pace is 6:30 pace then running some intervals under 5 pace will help you benefit a lot.
Aerobic Running still includes Marathon pace runs, tempo runs, 10k pace running, 5k pace running, and 3k pace running. The various paces are just different variations of aerobic running. None of this type of training is anaerobic in natures, so it makes sense to modulate between the various paces to develop a sound marathoner.
