Running too far too fast and too long speeds progress to finish line of life
Limit vigorous exercise to 30 to 50 minutes a day max, say researchers
Vigorous exercise is good for health, but only if its limited to a maximum daily dose of between 30 and 50 minutes, say researchers in an editorial published online in Heart.
The idea that more and more high intensity exercise, such as marathons, can only do you good, is a myth say the US cardiologists, and the evidence shows that its likely to more harm than good to your heart.
"If you really want to do a marathon or full distance triathlon, etc, it may be best to do just one or a few and then proceed to safer and healthier exercise patterns," they warn.
"A routine of moderate physical activity will add life to your years as well as years to your life. In contrast, running too far, too fast, and for too many years may speed ones progress to towards the finishing line of life."
"Chronic extreme exercise appears to cause excessive ‘wear-and-tear’ on the heart, inducing adverse structural and electrical remodelling, which offsets some of the CV benefits and longevity improvements conferred by moderate physical activity. Thus, even though chronic extreme exercise may not kill you, it may erase many of the health advantages of regular moderate exercise. "
