Too Much Running Bad For Your Health

Is running the exercise equivalent to a cheeseburger? The Wall Street Journal says there’s new evidence that a lot of running does more harm than good to your health. It was once commonly thought that running regularly could add 6 years to your life, but recent research says for those who run more than 30 miles a week the benefits disappear. The Journal says sports medicine experts are reluctant to go on the record about the dangers of too much exercise, for fear that some people will take it as encouragement to stay sedentary.
