Dr. Paul Thompson co-physician in chief of the Hartford HealthCare Heart and Vascular Institute - himself a distance runner - provides insights on the effects of distance running on the heart.
Wtf did he say...lol So me working out for my hour in the early mornings then sitting around most day is less healthy than a fat person that happens to stand up all day.....😂
Yeah, I chuckled when I heard that. It's competely bogus. In fact, people who stand all day are at higher risk of heart failure than those who sit, walk/sit, or walk all day. This same Dr Thompson has changed his tune since this segment. He gave up running for bicycling after he saw more study results and evidence of marathon-caused heart damage. He said cycling is gentler on the heart as it's at a lower rate.
