Walking Vs Running - long run benefits
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

Running can injured your knee and as-well it also cause early arthritis
So brisk walking is always preferable
