It may seem like a strange question, but more and more people are starting to ask whether or not running really is good for them. After all, the pressure that can be put on joints when running can be great, and many people have experienced many different chronic injuries as a result of too much explosive exercise.
However, this doesn’t mean that running is bad for you. The positives far outweigh negatives and, so long as you are careful, your body should only ever see positive effects from running. You will of course need the right running trainers, and choosing good quality Mizuno running shoes will no doubt help you reduce the impact on your joints.
You will also need to rest regularly. Running everyday will not give your body the time it needs to recover, and running on injuries, or running extremely fast regularly may also have negative effects.
However, by buying performance footwear designed for running such as the Eco Wave or the Wave Rider, and by ensuring you run in moderation as opposed to constantly trying to overstretch yourself, you will no doubt find that you only reap the positive benefits from running, such as a better posture, stronger muscles, increased fitness, improved mood and reduced stress. It may also ensure you are ready to deal with certain emergencies or extreme circumstances should any arise in the future.
Running offers many physical and mental benefits, and whilst you may wish to limit how often you run and where, it is unlikely that running will cause any long-term problems, only long-term benefits.
