Studying philosophy well, and actually learning how to do it, makes you a better thinker. Yes, just like running will make you a better runner.
However, doing it poorly, will make you worse. Lots and lots of casual consumers of philosophy dont' study it. They just read it passively and parrot it back out. Sort of like running for 200m and feeling like that is as good as running a 2km.
