It is characterized by the lifting of both feet off the ground during each stride. Running can be practiced in various environments, including outdoors on trails or roads and indoors on treadmills. It serves multiple purposes, including fitness, competition, recreation, and transportation. As a popular form of aerobic exercise, running engages multiple muscle groups and is known for its cardiovascular benefits, contributing to improved heart health, endurance, and overall physical fitness. It may also provide mental health benefits, such as stress relief and improved mood. The activity can be performed at various intensities and distances, ranging from casual jogging to competitive racing in events like marathons and sprints.
