Believe what you want. There will always be a study by an interested party to support you.
I’ve got to go with my own personal experience, where I’ve witnessed 30-50 year old runners getting impact injuries and destroying their ankles, knees, and hips.
Of course, not exercising at all leads to a weak joint support, and that also causes injuries and pain.
I’ll never believe that running 3 miles is better for a person than fast-walking it. As for running 5 miles or more a day? That’s just abusive on your body.
