mickey finn Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 It's highly unlikely that anyone who isn't a professional athlete is coming anywhere near "excessive". Professional athletes are not known for dying young compared to everyone else, and I think we can bet that they're doing a hell of a lot more than you or me. ---------- Post added 21-10-2016 at 16:02 ---------- And why look at football players for running, and not runners? How old is Mo Farah now? 33 and his legs seem okay... Typically Mo will run about 135 miles every single week as part of his training routine, not bad at all for a 33 year old, mind you he has millions of pounds worth of physio's, coaches and dieticians with many years at the top of their game to help him.

Cyclone Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Makes it clear that running on pavement is not going to leave us all with non functioning legs by our late 20's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael_J Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) I think it's mainly because of the dopamine, to be honest. But I just love the feeling exercising leaves in me.
