At least I'll die healthy.
But, really, even that article admits:
Those who jogged at a steady pace for less than two and a half hours a week were least likely to die in this time.
*I've yet to see the actual mortality stats, but I'm going to presume they're as miniscule as ever but the press just can't resist a headline. -
I have been diagnosed with an enlarged left ventricle from running too much, that could be up to 15 hours a week.
Personally the study sounds like a bag of tulipe, although I can actually find it referenced anywhere to give it a read.
1000 people is not even remotely enough to do a study that can make such claims, the study seems to have been done entirely by questionnaire rather than continually medicals for those involved.
And the British heart foundation claim that this is down to restructuring of the heart and arteries where as all I can see the study claims that people are just more likely to die, of anything presumably.Comment

1,098 healthy joggers and 3,950 healthy nonjoggersConclusions The findings suggest a U-shaped association between all-cause mortality and dose of jogging as calibrated by pace, quantity, and frequency of jogging. Light and moderate joggers have lower mortality than sedentary nonjoggers, whereas strenuous joggers have a mortality rate not statistically different from that of the sedentary group.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

What about cycling? Are you still as healthy as a non-jogger? Or does the likelyhood of being run over make up for it?Will work inside IR35. Or for food.Comment
