"Why intensive jogging is just as unhealthy as being a couch potato". This makes headlines? An article from Evoke.ie throws out a few sound bites from several studies and comes up with this headline, but absolutely no data or facts are presented. You've got to laugh at the term "Intensive jogging", whatever that may be. So again I ask, why does the media give attention to crap like this while diseases of an unhealthy lifestyle place a huge burden on our healthcare resources, not to mention, represent the major cause of death? Do you think they are pandering to the majority? Yikes!

We don't run to escape death, we run to move, to enjoy the natural world and to have the energy necessary for a rich and wonderful life.

Only trust reality, get out an run,

Randy Step, an admitted obsessed runner who is living life in full color because of it!
