This is a global player original podcast.

Hello there and welcome to a bonus episode of Rompud. I'm Jenny Faulkner here with some of the stories impacting the running world. This is the Rompud Rundown. Now running for as little as 75 minutes a week could add 12 years to your life.

Do you know that?

Well, that's according to a new study, which found that 75 minutes of jogging or running a week versus not running at all resulted in a biological age

difference of 12 years in favour of runners. Wow. When it comes to exercise, there's also another

metric to consider other than lifespan, health span. So this describes how long you can live

with a chronic disease that disables you. And studies have attested to

exercise's ability to reduce the chances of everything from Alzheimer's to cancer. So to conclude,

keep running regularly and you can increase both the quantity and quality of your life. Oh yes.

Congratulations to RunPod fans Sally Orange,

who received an MBE this last week for running a marathon in every continent

dressed as a piece of fruit.

Well, kind of.

Sally became an MBE for her work as a mental health campaigner,

for which she has run more than 80 marathons raising money for charity.

Her first marathon was in Antarctica, dressed as a pod of peas, as you do,

and the final one was in Miami dressed as a slice of orange,

because her surname's orange.

Ops!

Congratulations to everyone who took part in the New York City Marathon. If that was you,

how are you feeling today? It's the biggest marathon in the world. It took place on Sunday.

More than 50,000 people across the five boroughs of the Big Apple were running their hearts.
