Is Running Better Than Brisk Walking?
Question by unbeatensnail: Is running better than brisk walking?
I would like to start running. My husband said it is bad for your joints and walking is best. What are the benefits of running?
Best answer:
Answer by Eat. Sleep. Run.
Benefits of running: It just feels better! You feel so good after a long run.
But in all honesty, walking is the best form of excercise. (So I’ve heard… haha. Running is better in my opinion tho)
If you are worried about your joints, only run on trails and sand and grass and that prevents it 🙂
I’ll look it up to see if I can find any other benefits of running.
Check this out, I only glanced at it for a few minutes, so sorry if its not what your looking for 🙂

this is a paragraph from that site,
“Yet, most serious runners will say their addiction goes beyond the physical benefits they achieve from running. Runners say the intense exhilaration and euphoria that comes after a run is what motivates them most. In fact, this euphoria comes from a betaendorphin release triggered by the neurons in the nervous system. Intended to alleviate the pain after a run, it creates a feeling of extreme happiness and exhilaration. Runners become addicted to this intense high, and it can often replace other addictions to drugs, alcohol, and even food. While runners claim to achieve more energy in daily life from running, it also helps bring appetite, exercise and food into balance. Furthermore, as running makes the body function better, it improves sleep, eating, and relaxation”
