Running
Running has been around as long as humans
have, but it did not become a popular activity for the
masses until the 1970s. American physician Kenneth
Cooper’s book Aerobics (1968) is considered one of
the first inspirations for this growth. The book
demonstrated the considerable health gains that
could be derived from regular workouts that
emphasized cardiovascular fitness. Other people
credit American Frank Shorter and his gold medal in
the marathon at the 1972 Olympics with sparking a
surge of interest in running. In the years following
his win, a number of books and periodicals devoted
to running emerged. Today running is firmly
established as both a recreational pursuit and a
training tool; it is practiced by millions of people to
get in shape, stay fit, and have fun.
BACK
NEXT
There are many different kinds of runners, from casual joggers to
regular race runners to ultra marathoners who run 100 miles at a time.
Each runner should have a specific training regimen tailored to the
individual’s goals and abilities.
A good schedule for a beginner is to run 20 minutes at a time, every
other day. Occasionally, additional time off is needed because of illness
or injury. Depending on the length of the break, it is often advisable to
work back into a regular workout gradually, rather than jumping back
into the normal routine immediately.
In the short term, there are techniques that can help a runner
perform better. Mixing in higher speed workouts is one strategy, but this
can lead to injury unless the individual builds up to them gradually. Hill
and trail running builds strength, and weightlifting can also help.
Massage and whirlpools can help muscles recover faster between
workouts. A healthy diet is also beneficial. Some distance runners find
that eating foods high in carbohydrates (such as pasta) in the days
before a big race provides their bodies with more fuel.
NEXT
Many runners will at some point
want to enter a race, to push
themselves and to perhaps see how
they compare with other runners at
their age and experience level. Many
areas have a variety of local 5-or 10km (3.1mi or 6.2mi) road runs. To
finish a 5-kilometer (or 5K) race, the
runner should be able to run up to 30
minutes at a time in training.
BACK
Physical Fitness
Physical fitness is the ability of the human body to function with
vigor and alertness, without undue fatigue, and with ample energy to
engage in leisure activities, and to meet physical stresses.
The level of physical fitness can be influenced by regular, systematic
exercise. Exercises that demand total body involvement improve and
maintain fitness most effectively-for example, jogging, running,
swimming, vigorous dancing, cycling, and brisk walking. Normal, healthy
individuals may plan their own exercise programs. The general rule is to
exercise only until discomfort is experienced-that is, until breathing
becomes labored, circulation seems inadequate, or fatigue influences
performance.
People with health problems caused by heart
attacks, strokes, and illness should see a
physician before devising an exercise program.
Proper nutrition is also important to
physical fitness, because energy
expenditure depends on nutrition. If diet is
BACK
inadequate, the fitness level will drop.
Benefits of Exercise
The benefits of exercise are far reaching. Studies have demonstrated
that regular aerobic exercise reduces the risk of death due to heart
disease and stroke, aids in reducing weight, helps prevent diabetes
mellitus, strengthens bones, and enhances immune function. The
psychological benefits are also broad, and most studies suggest a
positive relationship between physical fitness and mental achievement.
The relationship between regular aerobic exercise and
cardiovascular health and longevity is well established. Regular exercise
leads to a reduction in the risk of coronary heart disease, in which fatty
deposits (plaque) form in blood vessels supplying the muscular wall of
the heart, compromising oxygen delivery to the heart muscle. In addition,
with regular exercise the efficiency of the heart during exercise is
increased.
Many people exercise to lose weight. A calorie is a unit that
measures the energy content of foods and the energy expenditure by the
body. When the
BACK
NEXT
daily calorie intake from food is the same as calories expended from
exercise,
weight remains the same. The number of calories burned during exercise
varies greatly with the type of physical activity, but the key to successful
weight reduction is to exercise regularly, without increasing food intake
proportionally.
One area of controversy has been how much exercise is enough to
improve general health, reduce the risk of heart disease, and increase
longevity. Meaningful studies on this topic are very difficult to perform
because they require large populations of subjects and many years of
data collection, and because poor health sometimes results in
limitations to physical activity. Despite these difficulties, it is clear that
regular exercise, along with a generally healthy lifestyle, is beneficial.
People who have sedentary lifestyles make up half the population of
industrialized societies, and this group has the most to gain by
exercising.

For many of us, running like the wind sounds like a dream that may never come
true. How fast can you run? Talk to your classmates and find out who is the best
runner. Ask the best runner to tell you how he or she manages to do it.
The name of the best runner is __________ .
He/She can run 100 meters in __________ seconds.
He/She can run so fast because __________.
Now read the following passage and find out what advice the author

Run Like the Wind

Not many kids know this, but a person can actually learn how to
run faster. It’s Ntrue. Even the slowest person on the playground can
become a fast runner by learning and practicing running techniques.
Here’s how!

Text A
The Basic Skills
2 N
There are two basic skills needed for running: speed and
endurance.
3 Speed is the measure of how fast a person can run.
4 Endurance is the measure of how far a person can run.
5 Most sports require athletes
to be skilled
N
at both speed and endurance.
Football
players, for example, use speed when making
a play and endurance to be able to run up and
down the field for an entire game. Both speed
and endurance can be learned.

NEXT
Text A
The Secrets of Speed
6 N To run fast, an athlete must use a special running technique known
as
sprinting. Here’s how it works:
7
First, think of the foot as four separate parts: 1. heel, 2. arch, 3. pad,
4.
toes.
8 When sprinting, the athlete uses only two parts, the pad and the toes.
The athlete strikes the ground with the pad of the foot, then pushes off
with the toes. (The heels never touch the ground!) By using
only these
N
two parts, the steps are quicker, and the speed is increased.
9
Another part of sprinting technique is the use of the arms. It may
sound silly, but the arms actually do help Nus run faster.
10 A young athlete can increase his speed by practicing the sprinting
technique in his backyard or playground.
It may take some time to
perfect,
but as with any other athletic skill, the more often one practices,
?
NEXT
the better one becomes!
Text A
The Keys to Endurance
11 The second running skill is endurance. An athlete needs good endurance to
be able to run for a long time without getting tired. This is a very important skill
in most sports.
N
12 The
key to endurance running is to conserve energy. This means using as
little energy as needed to move oneself forward. As with sprinting, there is a
technique runners use to help them become better endurance runners. This
technique
is known as the gravity pull technique. Here’s how it works:
N
13
First, the athlete leans forward just enough so that he has to keep
stepping forward to keep from falling. Second, he swings his arms long, to keep
his balance. Finally — and here’s the tricky part — he stays in that position for
N
the entire course of the run!
14 It takes quite a bit of practice to become skilled at this technique. However,
by running this way, the athlete uses the pull of gravity to move forward, rather
? having to use his own energy to push himself forward. Isn’t that clever?

Conclusion

Athletes in nearly every sport use both speed N and
endurance.
The nice thing is that anybody can become a
better athlete by studying and practicing these running
techniques. The funny thing is that hardly anyone knows this!
