"Run in the park" Vs "Go running in the park"
Dear teachers,
A "Youtuber", who claims he teaches British English, recently, said that the following sentence is grammatically wrong:
1. Every day I run in the park before I start work.
He insisted that it should be,
2. Every day, I go running in the park before I start work.
His argument was, if one "runs for pleasure or as a leisure activity", then, sentence 1 is not grammatical.
I tried analysing the two sentences but I did not see the meaning that he was suggesting.
I should appreciate it if I could have your opinions.
Thank you very much.

A "Youtuber", who claims he teaches British English, recently, said that the following sentence is grammatically wrong: #1 is not grammatically wrong. But runners (including me) more often say #2. It stresses more that the running is for fun, and not for example because you are always late for work.
