Researchers found that you can gain these benefits by running just 50 minutes per week, either all on one day or split into shorter segments throughout the week.
Researchers found that you can gain these benefits by running just 50 minutes per week, either all on one day or split into shorter segments throughout the week. Also, the pace didn’t make a difference—it was the duration of the run that lowered the risks. However, it’s important to note that longer runs didn’t translate to even lower risks, researchers found.
“The takeaway here is simply that running may help you live longer, regardless of its weekly frequency, duration, and pace,” said study coauthor Zeljko Pedisic
