I’m 55 and began running at 27. I had a bone scan and the doctor said I have the hips of a 30 year old. How awesom is that?

Well-researched and well-written post, Anastasiya. I like the way you’ve provided links to some of the sources.

One commenter says that there is no research on the benefits of running. Actually, a huge amount of research done over the past 4 or 5 decades confirms the benefits. A lot of work in this area has been done by Dr. Kenneth Cooper, Director of the Cooper Center in Dallas. Dr. Cooper, the author of Aerobics and a number of other books, is still running regularly at the age of 77.

It’s also important to point out that walking provides much the same benefit and may be a better choice for some people. The main thing is to get moving.

Adam,

I am glad that you looked through the article even though you do not believe in running, though chances are that you are overtraining. I never said that running every day is a good practice, 3 times a week (5 times max) is all you need to stay injury free. You can also check out my article Injury-Free Running to make sure that you are doing everything right.

i do not think so. i run 5kms a day for 1 year.my leg joints are getting worse.and my concentration on work is also.its only a myth that running has benefits.my depression is getting worse also.

theres no scientific research on benefits of running.they are all myth.

its great to see some positive points like these, i try to run 5 times a week around 5 – 10 km.. but mood is a major factor, if im in the mood to get out and run then 10k is no problem for the day but lately the weather has been getting cold with a little snow and running begins to feel more like a job and less like an enjoyable sport.. pushing through the down moods is key thought after i run i feel 100% better.. i do believe though that running is not for everyone if your overweight biking or other cardio machines at the gym are much better to start out with to loose 5-10 pounds before hitting the trails.
