I’ll wait for the next trial to come out that will completely discredit this one.. I’m guessing ~6 months.

It might be simple selection bias.
By looking at those who do some running, they exclude all those who can’t run due to other illness, disability, age, obesity, etc.; rather than just those who don’t happen to choose to.
Nothing is said about controlling such confounding factors in the study.
Correlation or causation?
The one thing in the article said that might highlight a causative link, argues against it: “Perhaps most notably, running more often, or at a more intense pace, wasn’t actually found to up these benefits or further lower one’s risk of death.”
All that being said about this study, exercise does have clear and powerful health benefits - better than a “druglike” effect. This article just doesn’t make the case, IMHO.
