Episode 2857:

Mark Fisher explains why running can be hard on the joints, ineffective for many, and often leads to injury if done improperly. Instead, he advocates for weight training and metabolic resistance workouts as safer, more efficient fat-loss strategies, while still acknowledging that running has its place if you genuinely enjoy it and do it correctly.
