I was just wondering whether many people here run regularly and for what purpose?

I have read mixed reports about it, i.e. not effective for fat loss, good for CV conditioning, bad for knees and ankles, great for endorphin release and well being etc etc..its as clear as mud as usual!!

Its mentioned in the Body-Flow book that Mr Sonnon has (or had at the time of writing) a running regime and obviously with the release of the powered running DVD its not advised against. It just doesnt seem to be discussed very often around here.

To my mind its one of the most natural and beneficial movements there is (especially when one is being chased by a sabre tooth tiger for instance) , but i dont want to compromise my health if unnecessary..


Any thoughts would be great.
