I’m right there with you. I’ve been running long distances and it only seems to help my knees. However, when training for a full marathon I realized I had to work my way up to that level or my joints would be sore. I don’t think someone who overdoes it on a scooter has a training program to follow.

I’m not spreading that myth by suggesting that people consider choosing a half marathon rather than a full marathon, gradually increase their training level, or avoid something that might have the risks of running without the rewards.
