What’s better for longevity—running or walking?

If you want to be fit and live for a long time, you don’t need to subject yourself to suffer-fests or slog through long runs.

Today, I’m joined once again by our friend Mark Sisson, New York Times bestselling author and founder of Primal Kitchen and Peluva minimalist shoes.

Mark had an incredible career as an elite endurance athlete, qualifying for the 1980 Olympic trials in the marathon. But as you’ll hear, his high-mileage running habit ultimately took a toll, leading him to rethink everything he thought he knew about fitness and longevity.

In his new book, Mark makes a compelling case that we humans are actually born to walk, not necessarily run, and that walking is one of the most powerful and most underrated tools we have for improving our health, body composition, and quality of life.

As usual, this conversation challenges mainstream fitness dogma, and Mark always brings the receipts.
