I Run Everyday, Is That Good or Bad? An Expert’s Opinion
This topic is particularly interesting to me because I run every day. So when I saw the story on the Eat This, Not That! website, I wanted to, of course, read it, but then share it with those who have an exercise routine like mine.
Every single day religiously at three o’clock in the afternoon I run three point one miles, the equivalent of a five-kilometer race or 5K. My mantra is “5K every day.” I’m not training for any big races, I’m not trying to beat any specific time (I run a 9-minute mile), and I’m not trying to work towards a longer distance. I just wanted a good workout without committing a major chunk of time each day (I’m done in thirty minutes). It’s simply what I do to stay in shape, and I like to say it’s my license to eat. I don’t eat a lot of junk, but I like to eat…a lot. My wife, Kathleen, and I are a great match for many reasons, and one of them is that I like to eat and she likes to cook, and she is really good at it. There’s nothing she can’t cook, and there’s nothing I don’t eat. You can imagine the health issues I could have if I didn’t run every day. I’m six foot four and weigh one hundred and ninety pounds. Before I started running I was close to two hundred twenty pounds; It took me a few months to level off.
When I saw the article I was worried that it was going to say that it was bad to run every day. I knew it was not bad to run, but maybe every day is not so good. As it turns out, it really good for you.
The article says it’s a “magical form of exercise you can do to boost your health and overall wellness.” Dr. Mike Bohl is the Director of Medical Content & Education at Ro Health Guide and a certified personal trainer. He also sits on the Medical Expert Board of Eat This, Not That! Dr. Bohl says running every day is a great way “to better your blood flow, cardiovascular health, and lungs.” It will also “lift your mood, [burn] calories, [help you] lose weight, improve your balance…strengthen your bones and muscles…[and] can help you sleep better.”
He also warns that “it’s necessary to know your limitations and be careful to not over-train.” So if you’re thinking about starting a running regimen (walking is awesome too), you should do two things. First, consult your doctor, and if you get the all-clear get ready for a daily workout that you’ll look forward to each day!
