Walking Vs Running - long run benefits

2022-05-14 05:39:54
I like running, I run 8 KM per day in the morning. I always get mixed reviews on running vs walking. Is running good considering long term impact? Will running cause any damage to knees in the long run ? Is brisk walking better than running? Please suggest, Thank you
