5. Answer the following questions about distance running:
a. Find two Bible stories that mention distance runners?
24While David was sitting between the inner and outer gates, the watchman went up to the roof of the gateway by the wall. As he looked out, he saw a man running alone. 25 The watchman called out to the king and reported it.
- The king said, "If he is alone, he must have good news." And the man came closer and closer.
26 Then the watchman saw another man running, and he called down to the gatekeeper, "Look, another man running alone!"
- The king said, "He must be bringing good news, too."
27The watchman said, "It seems to me that the first one runs like Ahimaaz son of Zadok."
- "He's a good man," the king said. "He comes with good news."
24Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. 25Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. 26Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. 27No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
b What are the proper clothes, including shoes, for distance running in your area?
c. How long is the average track?
Running tracks are typically ovals with a perimeter of 400 meters.
d. How far is a marathon race?
A marathon race is 42.195km
long.
e. Which part of the foot should touch first during the stride?
The ball of the foot should touch first.
f. What are the proper arm and head positions while distance running?
g. What is the proper way to breathe?
h. How does cross-country running differ from running on a track?
Cross country running often involves hills, while tracks do not. Cross country runners often must contend with traffic, but they are rewarded with changing scenery.
