I personally like the idea of changing it routines, whether science supports it or not, its boring to do the same thing over and over.

It depends on your goals. If your goal is to run a marathon, then that is the type of training you must do. If your goal is size and strength, then you need to change things up.
Training for a marathon can not be compared to weightlifting at all. They are pretty much exact opposites of each other, in terms of athletic performance.
