Health & Fitness
Running is good for you, right? Well is it? A few years ago, Jim Fixx, who was credited with helping start America's fitness revolution by popularizing the sport of running, died while out for a run. Now that doesn’t sound good.
So if you really wanted to know the answer why not ask someone who really knows? Like a doctor who runs.
That’s where today's guest comes in. Dr. Juliet McGrattan worked as a General Practitioner for 16 years and now uses her medical knowledge and love of running to help and inspire others to lead active lives. In her latest book, Run Well: Essential Health Questions and Answers for Runners, she does just that.
