Many of my sedentary relatives have remarked about the damage they think my joints are sustaining through running.
Can someone who has recently taken physics answer the following question?
What is the impact force for a 320 lb. man walking one mile versus a 160 lb. man running that same mile in about 7 min 30 sec?
You're calling 160 lb thin?
Wrong website!

He's 6'9".
Tell your fat relatives to stop making excuses for being sedentary. That reminds me of the time I ran by my place of work in a driving snow storm. Some moron was outside smoking. The next day he sees me at work and says, "Running in that weather can't be healthy, you're gonna freeze your lungs." I said, "And your smoking is real healthy."
I've been running since 1971 averaging 50-60 per week at speeds ranging from sub 6 to sub 8 (I'm getting old). No problems with my joints. In fact, I bet I feel better than he/she does in the morning.
