Is running ever bad for your heart?
I should not be , but before engaging in an agresiva program , with risk for heart disease its best to have your heart examined, maybe a supervised stress test , and echo. My worries about running outside are the orthopedic issues , knee, hip, Achilles etc, also make sure you have good running shoes. Last point look into alternative methods, stair master , cybex , and to get the best cardiovascular benefit , take 220, minus your age and try to achieve, 75\85% of that number. READ MORE
