As a support to my previous post…and as a conversation starter…I find the points made in this article to be quite plausible.
Certainly the “born to run” debate is not done and dusted…

I think the born to run discussion is silly. There's plenty of things we do in daily life that we were not "born" to do, but so what? That doesn't make it any less worthwhile.
That article is directed toward fat hobby joggers who think jogging is the best way to lose weight.
Runners are not thin because they run. They gravitate towards running because they are naturally thin. Just like powerlifters gravitate towards powerlifting because they are naturally built like tree trunks.
And I don't care what science digs up....if it feels good, do it.
That would make sense, but for one thing…why do hunter gatherers, who are thinner than most, not run frequently?
Yes we were born to run. It’s just hard to believe because most people live a miserable existence now and barely get off their ass. You don’t use it, you lose it.
Humans are one of the most adaptable species on the planet. We are omnivores and can eat nearly anything. Different groups of us evolved to be skinny long-distance persistence hunters, fat aquatic island hoppers, giant Nordic ice boulder throwers.....whatever...
Bottom line is: IF IT FEELS GOOD, DO IT.
