[quote=Anonymous]The only possible way running could make you look old is if you don't use sunscreen; then you might get some UV skin damage. It's mostly the opposite; regular vigorous cardio (HR @ 85%+) drives long-term epigenetic changes that reduce your biological age. In fact, studies on mouse models have shown that vigorous exercise reduces telomere shortening. Telomeres are part of our body's aging process; we lose them over time as we age, which literally tells our cells to die. More telomeres, less aging. Regular exercise also increases expression of anti-tumor genes and decreased expression of oncogenes. So, run away--it's a great form of exercise, and it's totally free (well, the shoes cost some money.)[/quote]
