Fun runs, 5ks, half marathons, and full marathons usually spark either excitement or dread into the hearts of those who love running or those who despise it. Whether you’re a seasoned runner, or you enjoy quick 30 minute jogs on the treadmill, the warning that running can be harmful or your knees is something most everyone has heard.
1. Does running cause osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis occurs when your bones becomes brittle and frail, due to loss of tissue. While some have argued that running increases the risk of developing osteoporosis further down the line, it is not entirely true. Many other outside factors like genetics, weight, diet & previous injuries may all have an effect, and play into whether or not a runner will develop the disease.1
2. Is running unhealthy for pregnant women?
Not necessarily and here’s why: running “can help ease delivery and encourage the flow of blood, oxygen and nutrients to the developing fetus.”2 Most women can walk, jog, and run up until the third trimester; some can even run through it.3 However, since everyone’s body type is different, always consult your doctor before engaging in a new fitness routine, especially if you are pregnant.
3. Does running cause joint inflammation?
According to a study done by co-author Matt Seeley, an associate professor of exercise at Brigham Young University, in Provo, Utah, he and fellow BYU colleagues, as well as Dr. Eric Robinson of Intermountain Healthcare, measured the typical knee joint fluid found in selected healthy men and women aged 18-35, both before running and after. They found that two markers they were looking for, two cytokines named GM-CSF and IL-15, actually decreased in the subjects after 30 minutes of running.4 This study indicates that for young and healthy individuals, running may help create an anti-inflammatory environment that may benefit joint health long-term. Of course, everyone’s body handles things differently. If you feel like running is causing inflammation in your knees, speak with your physician.
Fun Fact!
Did you know? You don’t necessarily have to carb load before a race. Sorry to break the news to pasta lovers out there, but carb-loading really only helps if you’re running a half marathon or longer.5 This is because carbs are stored as glycogen in our muscles and liver, where they act as energy. Running a 5k or 10k will not cause your body to need the extra glycogen. For most of us, our bodies already have enough carbs stored up to get us through the smaller races.
