What does running do to your body? It's a question new runners often ask. Anytime you move your body in a new way, whether that's differently or more intensely than before, there's going to be some initial aches and pains. But if you can push through to the other side, there are often so many benefits to be had.
That's certainly the case with running. As running recruits all the muscles in your body from the tiny muscles around your ankles to your legs to your shoulders, there's almost guaranteed discomfort at the beginning. But also because of this, running can dramatically change the appearance of your body and how well it moves.
