b'Over the years, I have spoken to you about all of the many benifits as to why running is good for you.\\xa0 I\\u2019ve talked about the physical, psychological and even the spiritual benefits of this sport...but\\xa0\\n\\nI\\u2019ve also tried to get across this point: that running is just one of the ways to improve your health, increase your level of happiness and extend the duration of your life.\\xa0 I\\u2019ve told you that \\u201cRunners are special\\u201d but I\\u2019ve always been quick to admit that I\\u2019m not saying we\\u2019re better than\\xa0 non-runners...we\\u2019re just different.\\xa0 Think about some of the times you\\u2019ve run incredibly long distances, or gotten your miles in during a blizzard or heat wave...some might call us crazy, I prefer the word \\u201cspecial\\u201d.\\n\\nBut obviously there are other physical activities that can bring you similar benefits: for the purpose of today\\u2019s discussion we will consider the act of walking.\\xa0 And the question to be asked and answered here is simply this: which is better for you, running or walking?\\n\\nNow, look...let\\u2019s be reasonable...I have dedicated the last 8 years of my life...over 300 episodes answering the question with the choice to run.\\xa0 I call myself \\u201cSteve Runner\\u201d I have drawers full of running Tee-Shirts and boxes of old running shoes that I keep hidden in my attick for the \\u201cSteve Runner Memorial Library\\u201d by grandaughters will no doubt, one day open...but if we\\u2019re going to consider Running versus Walking...we\\u2019d better turn to \\u201cSCIENCE\\u201d.\\n\\nLinks:\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nSpecial Olympics: \\n\\nA New Project: \\n\\nGud Musik?
