Moderate running (3 miles, three times per week) appears to be as effective as high-mileage running for reducing serum lipids in men.
It isn't necessary to run marathon distances to reduce serum lipids. According to this study, high- mileage runners and those who run 3 miles, three times per week reap the same benefits.
