Yes of course. Everything works for 6 weeks. Studies are nice and I'm glad for the people who publish them yet real world experience shows that running is problematic. There is not enough space to explain. Longevity is key word here. If you want to be a middle age man with hip and knee issues then go ahead and pound yourself into the pavement. Your connective tissue can take so much of a beating. Marathon runners are skinny as f* so if u want that look and feel go ahead and run. If you want health walking as fast as you can and feeling like a clown while doing it will keep you slim and allow you to develop muscle weight. Let me ask you guys, would you want to carry your wife/husband in case of an emergency? How about being able to with stand a fall? Armor building is the name of the game. Try it all but stick to the plan for six weeks and move on. Personally I have achieved my maximal strength goals and I can out play most kids on the court and field and it's all been done with a basic free weights gym in my porch. I've been lifting for 17 years and not one injury. Pace yourself. While your fellow partners are growing guts and becoming pale, you can hike a trail with 75 lbs of supplies and wake up each morning ready to go ape on anything. Strength is King.
