Jogging can increase your lifespan by as much as six years, claim researchers.
Better still, you don't even need to do that much of it to reap the benefits.
Scientists have found that jogging for as little as an hour a week at a "slow or average" pace could be
enough to extend a man's life expectancy by 6.2 years and a woman's by 5.6 years.
Lead researcher Dr Peter Schnohr said optimum benefits were gained from between one and two-and-a-half hours of jogging per week at a pace fast enough to "feel a little breathless, but not very breathless".
He added: "We can say with certainty that regular jogging increases longevity. The good news is that you don't actually need to do that much."
