Is Running Bad For Your Knees?
Spend enough time in the average weight room and you might walk away thinking that running is the root of all exercise evil: It does a lousy job at burning fat. It's less exciting than C-SPAN and, haven't you heard, it messes up your knees. But if you've been avoiding the treadmill based on the word of the guy who seems to live under the squat rack, you might want a second opinion.
Running is far from immune to scrutiny, as this very site has proven multiple times over, but the negative long-term impact it has on the joints is often wildly overstated, if not flat-out wrong.

Marathons. Cycling Races. Triathlons. So many have been wiped out, but organizers are already planning how to bring them back.
How a lifetime of running changes you
For me, running is itself the destination. It has become my way of balancing the scales, and at some point since 2002 I started to feel most at home when my body was most worn out. I count my life in miles. I run because after all these years I have learned to find a measure of serenity in the act of running. Somewhere in the past decade I started to find pleasure in this singularly painful activity.
An Hour of Running May Add 7 Hours to Your Life
Running may be the single most effective exercise to increase life expectancy, according to a new review and analysis of past research about exercise and premature death. The new study found that, compared to nonrunners, runners tended to live about three additional years, even if they run slowly or sporadically and smoke, drink or are overweight. No other form of exercise that researchers looked at showed comparable impacts on life span.
Building Community: Running Is The New Golf
Running – at a modest pace – is something most folks can do. At a conversational cadence, there’s plenty of time to talk between breaths. And you can bang out a reasonable workout run alone, with a running partner, or in a group in less than an hour. It’s also got great health benefits, certainly more so than modern cart golf.

How To Improve Your Running Performance? 5 Useful Tips
Many runners are happy running their regular routes at a relaxed “feel-good pace.” This boosts your overall fitness and gives you a break from your everyday stress. But it is precisely this monotony in your training that can often lead to boredom and waning motivation. Running expert Sascha Wingenfeld is convinced that “a steady, even pace makes your running heavy-footed and undynamic. Your performance will not improve, and your running will be reduced to just plodding along.”

Should you walk or run for exercise? Here's what the science says
All the exercise researchers seemed to agree on one thing: that the best exercise routine is the one you'll actually do. So the answer to the running versus walking question will probably vary from person to person. If you prefer one over the other, stick with that. And if you still can't decide, Hespanhol suggested this: "Why not do both — running and walking — in order to get the best of each?"

If you’re a runner who secretly hates running, here’s some good news: Taking it down a notch or two, settling into a leisurely jog rather than an all-out run, may actually be better for your health in the long term. A small new study shows what others have hinted at in the past: That jogging may be just as good, and perhaps even better, than running when it comes to how long we live.

I started running ultramarathons on April 3, 1993, when I ran the American River 50.

Since I retired (OK, I was laid off) on October 13, 1997 I've been operating this web site as a free service to the ultrarunning community (especially the RDs), since I love the sport and the people who are part of it.

This site was launched in early 2009 as a place for me to share my thoughts on a wide variety of topics.

I began accumulating running shoes and writing reviews of them, and the site started to take off.
