Marathons bad for your health.

[JLM]

Apparently five geniuses have just figured out that marathons are bad for the heart......can cause scarring. My doctor told me years ago that there is no better exercise than walking at a brisk pace for an hour or so. Running has the advantage of being able to do more in less time for people who are time restricted, but it does have several disadvantages, such as blowing out joints.

Kinda reminds me of a few years ago when doctors finally realized that breast milk is better for your child than formula. A giant DUH!

In the 60's I used to laugh as hundreds of Montreal joggers pounded up Mount Royal every morning hyperventilating car exhaust from rush hour commuters.

Yep, man was built to do astounding feats during an adrenylin rush, but it was meant for out running tigers, not excelling in commercialized sports. I wonder what a person's blood pressure would be during a 4 minute mile run.

No living creatures on this world would ever run for hours,one got to de a freak to do so and risking death just for the rush.

Judging by your self portrait avatar, I'm surprised that you can get close enough to a woman.

I would rather jump off a mountain wearing a squirrel suit than run.

I get the 'rather jump off a mountain' part because myself, I don't run for nobody or nothing.

But the squirrel suit? Is that just for kicks?

Lol.

I've never met an old runner who wasn't gimped up one way or the other.

Something I couldn't dare aspire to, even in me younger daze.

Young bull and old bull standing on the top of a hill looking down at all the cows.

Young bull says: Hey, old fella, let's run down there and do a heifer.

Old bull replies : Let's walk down and do the whole herd.

---------------------------------------

:blob6: Following is a true story, obviously. I'm not smart enough to make it up:

A close family relation by marriage decided to go to the gym many and several years ago. This, after several years of relative physical inactivity.

He did, and found it a great experience, having played amateur football when a young man, he felt life was turning just about the way it was supposed to.

Started jogging round the indoor track.

Jogged for a few laps, then ramped it up a notch or two. The sweat felt great. Running through the pain and all that.

Then he had a heart attack right there on the track

They got him to the hospital, and he survived, but has been on EXPENSIVE heart medication ever since, and CAN'T run any more.

Gotta love the little things. {Woody Harrelson}
