Really? What is that run going to do for your lifespan?

  To be clear, that's a weekly run. Just like we're not talking about a single lifetime dose of metformin. As for the benefits of exercise with very few downsides, the abstract mentions some.

  First example that pops into my mind to address your question: Running builds muscle and improves balance (among other things). Many people late in life die from head injuries caused by falls. I have a better chance of living longer and healthier with a stronger body. I'm primarily concerned with healthspan over lifespan. Goal to be sharp and as healthful as Jack Lalanne at 95: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkdYrAQJu6g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkdYrAQJu6g Yeah, I know he died a year later from pneumonia. He mentions his ego in the video as well.
