Hi Guys,

I have been a casual runner for about 6 years, usually running about 3-6 miles 3-6 times a week.  I don't often time my runs and my pace varies depending on the day/how my body feels. One of the things I like about running is that I choose to make it non-competitive. So, in short, is this type of running actually helping my body stay healthy?  What advice do you have for someone looking to stay healthy but not necessarily training for anything? I combine my runs with a quick push-up/sit-up routine at the end and typically finish my warm down with a headstand and some meditation.
