Running a marathon makes you 'younger': BBC News Review
Running a marathon makes your heart younger. Taking part in just one marathon can make your heart 'younger' by years, according to new research. Neil and Georgina look at the vocabulary in the news around this story.

Researchers say regular running, no matter how far or how fast, substantially reduces the risk of an early death. A team from Australia, Thailand and Finland examined data on nearly a quarter of a million people, and found that any amount of running was linked to a 27% reduction in mortality.
