The biggest myth around running is that it is bad for the knees.
No more half truths, as many more studies point to running being good for delaying onset of or preventing osteoarthritis and osteoporosis.
Running and impact are good for the joints.
Of course a focus on running form for regular runners becomes more important as does basic warming up, stretching, and following a schedule. It’s much like driving a car - follow the rules, don’t try and copy someone else blindly; if you have a problem which prevents you from driving well or focusing on the road, DON’T.
Have you ever heard of doctors telling the world not to drive because it is one of the world’s greatest killers? Many more people die in traffic accidents on an ongoing basis, as also many more people die in their sleep.
So should you not drive at all, or not sleep at all?
and look at earlier research and studies in an article in 2009 to show that studies on this have been pointing out similar findings for quite some time
