| Hey, fitness junkies, here's something to ponder the next time you lace up your athletic shoes for that long, heart-pounding run: A Danish study recently concluded that high-intensity, high-mileage joggers die at the same rate as channel-surfing couch potatoes.
The study, published on Monday in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, is the latest to confront the controversial topic of what constitutes too much exercise.
