QuoteOriginally posted by: farmerQuoteWASHINGTON (WNEW) - Going for runs on a regular basis has been linked to a multitude of health benefits in countless research studies, but recent research suggests that too much running is tied to a shorter lifespan....Dr. James O'Keefe, director of preventive cardiology at the Mid-American Heart Institute in Kansas City, said that although the health risk factors still don't explain high-mileage runners' shorter longevity, excessive amounts of running were still potentially related to life-shortening effects.By the same token, they also say highly-intensive and long physical efforts such as ironman races may result in shorten lifespan.
