Great for your lungs: Running helps improve your lung function and helps you breathe better which improves your overall quality of life and existence.

Helps you lose weight: Running can help burn calories and make you lose weight. It is difficult to say how much calories you ll burn as that depends on your weight and the speed at which you run. Read our simple weight loss guide.
