I always wonder how does this compare to any other cardio? For example, I started to run a few years ago. Now my week is something like 5k, 6k, 9k, 12k, 9k, 9k, 3k runs. I usually do not take a day off, as when it starts raining or snowing, this will force me to take 2-3 days off randomly for months on end.
Should I be climbing stairs instead? I never climb stairs near me, I would have to literally go out of my way to find some. (Full disclosure, I sit for work, except for when I was teaching, so I run to try to make up for it. I still do not feel very healthy as I run for say an hour, then sit for like eight, or ten.... "sitting is the new smoking" is not helping).
