Ooo - too much running?
Here we go again as the doom and gloom merchants focus on something - too much jogging is bad for you apparently.Too much jogging 'as bad as no exercise at all'
Scientists studied more than 1,000 healthy joggers and non-joggers over a 12-year period.
Those who jogged at a steady pace for less than two and a half hours a week were least likely to die in this time.
But those who ran more than four hours a week or did no exercise had the highest death rates.

I would say 'too much' of anything is bad for you, all things in moderation..

Re: Ooo - too much running?
My super fit athlete friend used to be a jogger, that led to her having to have operations on both knees, now she does race walking, she was the ladies european champion a few years ago and still enters races all over europe and sometimes further than europe. However she is grounded from competing at the minute due to a deep vein thrombosis in her leg. So I´m not at all sure that being so dedicated to fitness is such a good thing.
