Dear Mayo Clinic: A few neighbours formed a running group to train for a marathon in 2021. I’m thinking about joining them as I know that running can be good exercise, but I’ve never run before. Is running a marathon actually good for my health? Should I do certain things to avoid injuries?
Being active and engaging in regular aerobic exercise is important for overall heart health and wellness.
