Should you walk or run for exercise? Here’s what the science says. – Vox
Experts untangle the relative risks and benefits of each activity.
At Vox, I sit next to health reporter Sarah Kliff, who trains for half-marathons and triathlons with a casualness most people reserve for grocery shopping. But in the year I’ve known Sarah, she’s suffered plantar fasciitis and a stress fracture. She’s hobbled around in running shoes for months because everything else hurt too much, and she’s currently sporting a big blue brace on her left leg to help cushion the tiny cracks in the bones of her foot brought on from too much wear and tear.
