Same for leisure running, and in fact cardiovascular fitness has the predominate correlation for reducing all-cause mortality and risk of cardio disease mortality. I would caution though that more is not necessarily better, or at least not a lot better. The benefits seem to taper off after around 2-2.5 hours per week of moderate or harder aerobic exercise.
