Figuring two hours per week of training, since that was the average reported by runners in the Cooper Institute study, the researchers estimated that a typical runner would spend less than six months actually running over the course of almost 40 years, but could expect an increase in life expectancy of 3.2 years, for a net gain of about 2.8 years." > > Reminds me of a joke about marriage, since married people statistically live longer: "If you want to die a slow death..." I don't know any runners who don't love running. I think that says it all. I believe there are studies showing people with hobbies they love live longer.
