Well, he was in a hurry.

Second, this data seems to conflict with the growing number of people I have met who have to stop running because their knees are going bad.

That could be due to running with shoes and the surface they've been running on.
Swimming will be a better excersice for them, no pressure on joints and all their
muscles will be worked out.

it's because they run in overly-developed shoes. our feet evolved to run barefoot, possibly supplemented with a thin, flat sole protection that doesn't restrict to toes. everything from how our feet hit the ground to the strength of our arch changes when we weaken our feett w/"advanced" shoes.
