Is Running worth prioritizing?

A meta-analysis and large cohort study both show that running, even in modest weekly amounts, is associated with meaningfully lower all-cause and cardiovascular mortality compared to not running, and broader cardiorespiratory fitness meta-analyses support the same general pattern. Weighing that against the numbers, Running is a strong candidate to prioritize — it combines strong evidence (70/100) with a high estimated impact on longevity (72/100).
