What a refreshing perspective! I love how you share your personal experience with walking and running, and how you've come to realize that a longer, easier walk can be just as beneficial as a high-intensity run. I'm particularly intrigued by your point that walking can reduce joint pain - I've definitely noticed that when I walk after running, my joints feel a lot happier. Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts and approach to exercise, which is definitely something I can relate to!
