Good work, Bill!

for every runner, there are 1 million walkers in the world..

Now if we could only parlay this and make it a recognized sport activity...

Based on the subject article, Josef,

turning walking into a competitive sport may be counterproductive, 

at least for the winners over a shortened lifetime.

But most of us have the good sense, or the physical fragility,

to give up high-level competition at marathon distances as we age. 

OTOH it seems that x-professional American football players die younger than runners.

That does not speak well for short intense exercise nor for ever ceasing all exercise.

On a last note, when I was young some 70 years ago, I read and heard that anyone who ran in Africa 

was considered to be in the process of stealing, else there is no reason to run. Seems times have changed.
