In
the past, people didn’t need sports like
running to stay healthy because they
were very active. But these days, many of us
spend most of the day sitting down.
This means
we need to get some exercise in our free time,
and running is a cheap and easy way to do it. It’s
more fun than doing boring exercises in a gym,
and all you need is a good pair of trainers and
some comfortable clothes. Also, it’s
a sport that
people can do at any age – for example Fauja
Singh fi nished a marathon at the age of 101!
To make running interesting, you can
enter a race. Fun runs are very popular.
These are often 5
km long and are great for
beginners. You can run with your friends
and maybe dress up. For fi tter people,
there are half-marathons, marathons,
or even ultra-marathons. These can be
70–400 km long.
One of the most famous
is the Marathon des Sables which takes six
days and goes through the Sahara desert.
Running is fun and scientists say it is
one of the best ways to keep fi t. However,
make sure you don’t do it every day – it’s
important to have a rest between runs. Running
improves the health of
almost every part of your
body, including your brain. It can make you feel
happier and healthier, and live longer. It also
helps
you sleep well, and that gives you the
energy to enjoy your life more. Perhaps it’s the
perfect sport!
