Long Distance Running

Distance running is already becoming a popular form of exercise. However, a few essential things have to be considered before one decides to join in on all the fun.

Like any other exercise, running must be approved by a doctor first. Those with a personal physician may consult their doctors on the kind of exercise regimen they’re suited to before starting one. First, of course, one must be checked out thoroughly.

This is to ensure that the exercise will not aggravate existing heart conditions. Of course, ensuring that is the case for those who think they are fit and healthy does not hurt. But, unfortunately, feeling fit and knowing you are fit are not the same. Remember the three men who died of heart attacks last 2007 while competing in different running races?
