  A new study suggests running a marathon for the first time could help you live longer by revering some of the effects of aging on the body.

(CNN) – If you’re considering running your first marathon in 2020; we have some extra motivation for you.

A new study suggests running a marathon for the first time could help you live longer.

Researchers found for the 138 healthy, first-time marathon runners they tracked.

Training and completing the London marathon was associated with a four-year reduction in their “vascular age.”

That means they found marathon training reversed the age-related stiffening of the body’s main artery, the aorta, and helped reduce blood pressure.

The study’s senior author says she doesn’t think the health benefits are unique to running a marathon.

She said the key takeaway is to set a training goal and structure and stick to it.

The study was published Monday in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
