October 26, 2007, Newsletter Issue #76: Advantages of Running Shorter Distances

Tip of the Week

You don't have to run marathons to “be a runner” – or to enjoy the many benefits of running.
• Running for as little as 20 minutes three times a week provides significant cardio-vascular benefit.
• Training for and running shorter races takes less time away from other activities.
• Studies indicate that running more than 45 miles per week does not significantly increase fitness, but does increase the risk of injury.
• Races as short as 5K provide all the social benefits of most longer races – but without the heavy investment in time.
