Excellent points.
I am of the opinion that for the majority of people, running should be practiced if the goal is to be competitive at running, for whatever reason.
However, running for health reasons is better than doing nothing in most instances.
Oh yes yes, I completely agree! There's controversy on every single thing haha I actually run and use to run in track haha so I'm sorta going against what I said, but I had to slow down because of some of these problems. But yes, running is doing something instead of sitting haha
