  • IF YOU RECENTLY joined a run club or started running on your own, you've probably noticed a surge of sweaty selfies, self-congratulatory captions, and shiny medals flooding your feed around major marathon weekends.

The article from MSN discusses the misconception that one must run a marathon to achieve significant health benefits from exercise. It highlights that while marathons are impressive feats, they are not necessary for everyone to improve their fitness or health. Instead, the piece emphasizes the value of regular, moderate exercise, which can include activities like walking, cycling, or even gardening. It points out that the key to health benefits lies in consistency and enjoyment of the activity rather than the intensity or duration typical of marathon running. The article also touches on the potential downsides of marathon running, such as the risk of injury and the time commitment, suggesting that for many, less extreme forms of exercise might be more sustainable and beneficial in the long run.
