Scheduling days for cross training, strength training, and rest should be part of your training plan. How many days it’s safe for you to run each week depends on your goals and physical fitness levels. Running is a high-impact exercise and overtraining can lead to injuries such as stress fractures and shin splints.

But the same research also shows that these benefits top off at 4.5 hours a week, meaning there’s no need to run for hours each day. Studies show that running just 5 to 10 minutes each day at a moderate pace may help reduce your risk of death from heart attacks, strokes, and other common diseases. Running every day may have some health benefits. Research shows it may even extend your life. Running just a few minutes each day may be good for you.
