GettyIt may be possible to out-run death, at least for a little while, according to a recent study. “Any amount of running, even just once a week, is better than no running,” the paper published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine concludes. “Increased rates of participation in running, regardless of its dose, would probably lead to substantial improvements in population health and longevity,” the study reads. “More studies are needed to examine how sustained running behavior, rather than sporadic participation, is associated with mortality risk,” they write. “Future studies should also consider assessing running habits using activity trackers, as these devices may provide more detailed and accurate insights into running behavior.”
