If you run forever you become immortal

At the expense of fucking up your joints

well if you live forever you'll be able to get enhanced joints anyway

Running is a meme. Do warlking, prefferably in hilly/mountain terrain.

If want actual noticable benefits asap, then do running up the stairs - takes lot more effort than "running", but also is not a meme.

To put it in perspective - jogging is not actually very benificial, but its addictive once you get used to it. Its a pointless activity giving you excuse to not actually excert yourself - you could be sprinting, runing stairs/mountains, interval running, running with weight: but most "runners" instend just spend hour dayly running in leisurly pace and think they do sport.

surely it's still good for heart and lungs

I started doing sprints - takes 20 minutes a few times a week and there's no way to compromise on effort - with running you can keep it easy, your perception of effort is mainly time based.

Felt huge benefits - way faster than when I used to run, been good for my abs too. Do it on a football field near my house, I also feel the extra forward momentum you have and reduced time is probably much better for your knees long term

It is better than nothing - but there are multiple studies showing similar increases in VO2 etc from HIIT at a faction of the time.

Probs the cardio equivalent of expecting benefits doing 100 reps of 1 kg I suppose

I hope lifting would make my joints strong enough to run without fucking them. Because I'd love to run but if I try to do so my knees start to ache.

Got told jogging, especially on paved and hard surfaces is damaging to your knees and ankles over time from the repeated force of it.

Any info to refute this?
