[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Running wrecked my skin, knees and hips. I don't do it anymore.[/quote]

Not sure about hips, but running being bad for your knees has been debunked as a myth, provided you’re not overtraining or using bad form. My skin is wrecked, too, but can’t say for sure it would’ve looked any better if I wasn’t a runner. I use sunscreen and a hat and mostly just don’t care. The way running makes me feel trumps any concern about “runner’s face.”[/quote]

Dp. Is running like alcohol in the sense you build a tolerance and have to increase speed and/or miles to get the same effects? Can one simply run for an hour every day (or however often) and enjoy the same boost in mood week after week?[/quote]

I think most runners (or at least I) have a sweet spot that I need to hit to feel the benefits. Was minimum 5-6 miles for many years, but as I get older (and as it gets hotter), I’m content to do a little less distance, but perhaps more frequently.[/quote]
