I wonder what the WSJ said. I have been running seriously for 50+ years. I enjoy it. Others don’t. I do not proselytize or cajole others to join me.

I prefer brisk walking. Why pound the pavement - and your bones and joints- when you can work up a sweat walking?

I have asthma. Not enough to be disabling just enough to have, I think, more pain from running. I get terrible diaphragmatic ischemia pains from having to work harder to push the same volume against more resistance. Jump School was very painful. I really don’t think “normal” people experience that, at least not in the same way.
