There are many many thousands of people that have been doing this for years with no problems. If you are predisposed to injuries that can be exacerbated by running, then yes, it's a bad idea, but that's the same for any sport/activity. Running gets a bad rap because people dig out their old sneakers and leap off the couch and go run 20 miles in a week, then wonder why they got hurt, and blame running rather than their own bad actions. | |

| Jul 5, 2012 at 22:26 | comment | added | Ivo Flipse | Well @Boris the first book is trying to downplay cardio exercise, so its likely biased against things like jogging. As for the latter link: " Practitioners and patients want to know if regular exercise is a risk factor for the later development of osteoarthritis". Its a rheumatology journal, obviously they have joint problems. I'm not saying everybody should be running, but saying its bad for everyone seems wrong to me | |
| Jul 5, 2012 at 21:34 | comment | added | Boris | The book 'Body By Science' is one source. Another one is ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8210578 (talks about athletes). | |
| Jul 5, 2012 at 20:44 | comment | added | Ivo Flipse | @Boris any references? Besides define intensive jogging | |
| Jul 5, 2012 at 17:55 | comment | added | Boris | @IvoFlipse I have read it in numerous places (science based) that intensive jogging (or similar exercises) performed for a prolonged time (like 10 years) lead to joint wear and other problems. | |

| Jul 5, 2012 at 17:37 | comment | added | Ivo Flipse | Fixed @Vivek, thanks for catching it though you could have edited yourself ;-) | |

| Jul 4, 2012 at 7:13 | comment | added | Ivo Flipse | @Boris while you're right it may be sub-optimal in terms of time-efficiency, I feel like a lot of people get overweight by being extremely sedentary (myself included). If you have a desk job all day and sit on the couch at night, you need to get some exercise. As for the joints, I believe that's plain wrong: if you don't use it, you lose it. So sitting behind a desk puts more strain on your joints than regular jogging (except perhaps for morbidly obese) | |
| Jul 3, 2012 at 23:15 | comment | added | Boris | -1. While doing sports for the health benefits is a good idea, doing them for losing weight is seriously sub-optimal solution. Running every other day: wastes lots of time; and makes you hungrier, diminishing the benefits; doing it regularly whole life puts too much strain on joints. | |

Fixed various spelling errors, nothing big just nitpicking...
