The copenhagen study is one that stays with me. Over a period of 35 years, and ~17000 people, there are some interesting charts showing guidelines to optimise jogging for longevity.
If I recall correctly, the best benefit was for joggers to run three times a week for 7 kilometers at 7 kilometers per hour. This would give an extra five years of life, and as the parameters (#times per week, distance, speed) veered from this benefits declined along a bell curve.
- jules 11y agoInteresting bit about 7 kilometers per hour. That's almost walking speed.
- loco5niner 11y agoHmm... that's 4.3 mph, or 4 miles in 56 minutes, or 14 minute miles. Not very fast at all.
