The popularity of running can be linked to a desire to achieve an aerobic and cardiovascular benefit, while other runners use running as a means to effectively control body weight and lean body mass. Running also can produce psychological benefits and can be a useful form of stress management. Finally, there are individuals who run to compete. A select few in top form aspire to “win the race,” but many simply work to better their own previous best effort and “personal record” (PR).
