I just don’t get the running enough to cover distance of a state.
It’s goal driven just like anything else. Setting a 5k/10k/13.1/26.2 PR or beating a friend, colleague, etc is just as exciting for runners as setting a new 1RM in lifting. In running you have to run long and slow to race fast, at a certain point some weight training and plyometric training is good, but it’s mostly about building up an aerobic base. That’s why people run 50+ miles a month when training.
To add to that, since I’ve taken up running and scaled back weight lifting a year ago I’ve lost 25 or so lbs and a good portion of body fat as well. Some of that may be diet related, but not much bc I haven’t made big changes there. Went from 192 at heaviest to 165ish now.

By foot? No. In my car, yes.

Asked by a fan on Golf TV what he would tell his younger self, the five-time Masters winner recently responded, “Not to run so much.”
“Running over 30 miles a week for probably my first five, six years on Tour pretty much destroyed my body and my knees,” the 44-year-old Woods said.
Wait, Tiger's answer was to not run roughly 30 miles/week between the ages of 23-28(ish) and not get caught up in either a major sex scandal involving multiple women in a wide range of professions while married with children, costing him $100 million or more? Or don't go for a late-night drive after mixing Ambien, Xanax, painkillers, and THC?
He chose running as his answer?

I know plenty of old (over 60) runners still running and doing fine. I think it depends on your body type and bio-mechanics as to whether you can run and not break down. And 30 miles a week isn't that much compared to what many runners do. I think Tiger's knee issues came from multiple stresses he put on his body and can probably be traced to his back issues.

Probably more a combination of PED's and an insane golf swing.

Having a fast, violent golf swing and hitting balls for 8 hours almost every day likely contributed to the problem too.
So did the Seal training where he talks about "jarring" his knee and not fully recovering.

I've been into running for about six months and it amazes me how many people in the 50+ age bracket are putting in insane miles every week. I'm running 5 miles 2-3 times a week and feel like I'm above average, but what I log is still minuscule compared to some of these runners out there.

My run coach is 50ish. He is running a virtual run across the state of TN or some crazy shite like that. His wife was recently in Europe competing in a 24 hr endurance race. He runs every, single day.

It definitely wasn’t the hookers, ecstasy, and car wrecks.

Humans are runners by evolution. Distance running is probably the most natural exercise a human can do

running, just like a whole host of other movements and workouts, is all about form
bad form is going to equal bad results
for every person that said running ruined their knees, you will find some old runner who has been running the same 5 miles everyday for 40 years with no issues
This!!!

You will lose weight. Is it the most efficient way to lose weight? No
The calories you burn from running and exercise is minuscule compared to proper dieting but aw shucks that’s just too hard for some people.
You can have the same benefit of outdoor exercise with trail hiking below the pace of jogging and see similar results.

Over the course of one hunt, that would have meant sprints, followed by walks, followed by standing still for 2 hours, followed by a sprint, followed by a jog, etc. What animal do you know that runs for 26 miles at a time?

The most "natural" exercise a human can do is varied tasks without exactly symmetrical repetitions.

I still believe though you should be able to run a mile or so. For a normal person there is never really any reason to ever run more than a mile or two at most. Unless you are chasing a goal on the two miles, honestly trying to improve your mile time is a much better fitness endeavor for the normal non competing athlete.
Of you enjoy running though, have at it, but realize the milage adds up.
Man, do I agree with this. Very well summed up.
I would add if you have to run, you should at the very least have some form of minimalist shoe. All the shoes with the big inflated "air" heel cause devastating heel strikes which are extra hard on the knees.

But people enjoy being outside when the weather is nice and running is an easy, cheap and available form of exercise for almost anyone.
That's really it for me. No equipment necessary. Can do it anywhere. I love all sorts of outdoor activities and can make myself weight train if there are no impediments (traffic, time, any slight excuse). But running is the thing I'll always just do if physically able.

And packing too much muscle on a frame that was not made to take it.

Yea he is just so big...do you really think that's it or maybe if might have been his dumbass obsession with the seals and going to train with them all the time?
