A 1967 News Report Warned About A Terrifying New Trend: Jogging

It’s crazy to think, but there was a time that “running for the sake of running” was seen as novel. Seeing the habits of some runners today, there’s a chance that they were right for scoffing at the idea.

This report from 1967, for example, shows a bewildered man interviewing female runners about the new trend, while a separate report from the U.K. a few years later warned that engaging in running for the sake of it could pose a health risk.
