Is too much exercise bad for you?

I found this study today- relating the amount of jogging people did over a 10 year period to mortality.
There is a correlation between exercise and longevity, but this correlation seems to get more tenuous and possibly even absent as the amount of exercise increases.

Following on from Stig's post of last year about Atrial Fibrillation, maybe doing too much is bad for you?

I see at least two major flaws in this study. Firstly, it deals with jogging, not cycling. Need I say more? Secondly, most of the researchers appear to be MDs, Again, need I say more? :wink:
