How much time should one go running for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
At least 20 minutes.: Apparently your heart has to be at an appropriately elevated rate for at least 20 minutes to gain cardiovascular benefit. Give yourself a few minutes of running to get your heart rate up to that level, then twenty minutes at least from there.
