Want to run for longer? We’re not just talking distance, we’re talking for years to come! 😉
A massive new study just dropped the ultimate workout formula for longevity, and it’s a game-changer for runners.
While our runs cover the ‘vigorous exercise’ box, the study found the biggest benefits came from mixing it up. The sweet spot? Adding at least **two strength training sessions** per week alongside your cardio.
Combining running, strength work, and moderate activity (like brisk walks) was shown to cut the risk of death from any cause by a staggering 47%!
The takeaway: Don't skip leg day! A strong body isn't just for PBs—it's the key to a long and healthy running life.
