Running has multiple health benefits. Runners typically enjoy better sleep, stronger bones, reduced risk of heart disease, and an improved mood—commonly known as the “runner’s high.”

You can do this high-impact exercise outdoors or on a treadmill, while sprinting or running long-distance. No matter which way you move, you’ll discover the benefits of running with even a moderate pace. Get running tips, running shoe guides, and running training plans at Well+Good.
