I have run all my life. Every time I run, I always feel guilty and think I should spend my running time
for MA training. One of my friends has knee surgery. The experience is not pleasant. This make me to stop running and replace by a different program. What program should I replace it with?

I still like to replace my 3 miles running by 3 miles walking. But just walking is too boring. For each 1/4 mile, I like to do the following:

- find 2 "3 punches combo" and repeat 30 times each (2 x 3 x 30 = 180 punches).
- find a kick and repeat 10 kicks on each side (20 kicks).

If I walk 3 miles, I will drill 12 x 2 = 24 "3 punches combo" 30 times (12 x 180 = 2160 punches and 12 x 20 = 240 kicks.

It takes about 1 and 1/2 hours to cover 3 miles walking with 2160 punches and 240 kicks..

What's your opinion on this "training for health" program?

I like to run, so I run and I don’t real guilty about it. If you like to run and your health does not create any problems for that, then run. And don’t feel guilty about it.
