I wouldn't do any long distance running. studies have shown that running long distance is such a strain on your body that those who do it end up loosing muscle mass because its impossible to fuel your body enough and it starts feeding on itself. Also, there have recently been studies showing that long distance running can lead to shorter lifespans.

Show up at a marathon and tell that to the 80+ age group that run.  I think you need to read some new studies.  There is a group of runners that do whats called Ultras which are double marathons and some people have had some issues running those because they were not in proper shape.  Overall long distance running is one of the best things you can do to maintain a higher max heart rate and good cardio vascular conditioning.

I could see the muscle loss thing but with proper diet, you can minimize the muscle loss.  Cross training with weights helps.  I know quite a few guys around here that run half marathons and are by no means lacking muscle.  But it does burn up some muscle though...a lot of that comes down to heart rate and training in the right zone.

As far as long distance running leading to shorter life spans, I don't believe that for a minute.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.
