→Injuries
Most people know about runner’s high. But for most runners, injury is as much a part of the experience as euphoria. Studies vary widely, but it is estimated that between 30 and 80 percent of regular runners are injured in a given year. Shin splints, runner’s knee, iliotibial band syndrome, plantar fasciitis: For many years, everyone from coaches to biologists to casual joggers has accepted such injuries almost as a necessary evil... But a growing number of researchers, many of them at [[Harvard]], are convinced it doesn’t have to be that way. [http://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2012/04/chasing-down-a-better-way-to-run/]

== Fitness ==
Of all the ways to stay fit, walking is the easiest, safest, and cheapest. It can also be the most fun. [http://www.wellnessletter.com/html/fw/fwFit04Walking.html] Excellent "aerobic" activities for building endurance include brisk walking, running, in-line skating, swimming, cycling, rowing, and aerobic dance. Recommendation: To gain health benefits, 30 minutes of moderate physical activity over the course of most days is enough. [http://www.wellnessletter.com/html/fw/fwFit01GetFit.html]
