Human joints are not designed to jog long distances.

We can walk forever and sprint a fair amount. Jog very little.

Walking and sprinting are completely different on joints.

Indeed - walking is WAY underrated, and for someone such as the general reaching the “I’m too old for this sh*t”/crunchy knee age, likely a far better alternative.

But it really damages the ego, and takes more time than busy starman would want to expend on it.

“Human joints are not designed to jog long distances.”

Not true. Speaking as a jogger who stared at 14 and is still doing so 50+ years later.

What human joints are NOT meant to do is haul around an extra 80 lbs of fat!

The right shoes (eg Hoka Bondi ) and right technique which a majority of joggers don’t follow will minimize impact damage to joints. This is especially important for older adults who take to jogging.
