HEALTHY BODIES

160 UNIT 13
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!
