Running can add more years to your life
Exercising has been proven to improve your quality of life and extend your lifespan. Running is a particularly efficient way of working out. There have actually been studies that determine exactly how many years running regularly and leading a healthy lifestyle can add to your life.
Even running for just one hour can extend your life by about seven hours. Yes, exercising is hard and can be tiring to do regularly, but sitting on your butt all day is detrimental to both your mental and physical health. So even if it takes some effort, you are better off staying active.
