In a recent interview with Well+Good, Dr. Vikas Shahi, a sports medicine physician at the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS), discussed the benefits of running every day and provided insights for those considering this routine.

Dr. Shahi emphasized that daily running offers both physical and mental advantages. According to him, "Running is a fantastic form of cardiovascular exercise," which can enhance heart health and reduce blood pressure. He further noted, "It makes your body more robust."

The American College of Sports Medicine suggests that adults should engage in at least 30 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise, such as easy running, five days a week. This recommendation aligns with Dr. Shahi's views on the positive impacts of regular running.
