If you want to get fit, running like a mad thing is not the anwser.
If you live in a first world country you are going to spend the majority of your life as an older person, with all sorts of age related infirmities. Vigorous exercise is fine and fun when your younger, but it's the gentle exercise habits that are going to stay with you for your whole life.
You don't have to run like a wild thing to stay healthy, just get into the habit of doing some moderate exercise every day. Walk up stairs, do some gardening, go for a walk, even housework can give you a great work out.
Add to that a really good diet with plenty of fruit and veg, and limited sugar and fat. And you'll be fit for life.
