Now, when we were discussing this story here at the briefing in our pitch meeting, we had one producer very passionately claim running is terrible for you, it's bad for your joints, like it can injure you more than it can help you.

As a physiologist, what's your take on that perspective?

Well, let's say that, you know, I've taken your advice and I've decided I'm going to get up off the couch and I'm going to start training for a marathon as someone who has never run in their life.

How should I go about it?

Professor Mark Hargraves, thank you so much for joining us on The Briefing today.

That was physiology expert emeritus Professor Mark Hargraves speaking with me there.

And that is all for this episode of The Briefing.

Thanks so much for joining us.

As always, Tash will be back in your feed this afternoon with a deep dive and the headlines.

And we'll be back in your feed with the weekend briefing tomorrow morning.

I'm Sasha Barbagat.

Catch you next time.
