I’ll bet the writer is a total dog and this is wishful thinking.
The injury rate for runners ranges between 50-100% per year per runner depending on the metrics. Injury includes fatal and near fatal injuries as well as over use injuries leading to chronic disabling conditions.
Running is a stupid form of exercise if it is health concerns that motivate it.
Cardio benefits are marginal at best, injuries are certain at best.
I run/jog/sprints/walk with firearm, extra ammo fixed blade and at night a flashlight. The gal can easily do this alone with a whistle around her neck.
