In my experience, the ordinary recreational runner can't run hard enough to incur real health risks.
For a bit of anecdata, I ran at least one marathon under three hours ever year from 1980 through 1986. Nowadays my "long" run of a weekend might be eight miles, which I do enjoy. I see the young glide past me when I think I'm running a decent pace, but more with amusement than regret.
