The number of the runner who collapsed close to finish line and die immediately is increase. What are the causes of this serious problem? If we are not fit enough to run, why we still doing this?Or it is because of your physical strength?
According to “Running a marathon – what are the risks?”, the problem that almost every marathon runner have to face is dehydration (Roberts, 2012). And the minor that injures the runner are sprains and strains. When you run in a hard race in a hot day, “up to four liters of fluid can be lost through sweating and exhalation” (¶ 4). The important things for runner is keep well hydrated. Many case show how those runners die because of heart conditions. The other important thing that you can prepare before the race is maintains your health and your shape, following training and planning for race at least a month. Before every race, warming up and doing stretches can be avoided your injuries.
My family running every morning because of my grandfather, he wants our family feeling fit and healthy. My uncle who never runs in his whole life, but nowadays he runs everyday and he joins marathon every 2 week. And my other aunts start running too. My grandfather, 84 year old, is planning to cooperate mini-marathon (10 km.) the end of this year. One thing that I like about running is, it put my family together to do in the same thing and spend time together. There are many benefit of running, you will get healthy life, blood pressure will be normal, and your body will be lean, fit, and strong.
Two weeks ago, my aunt told me about her friend in Kon-Kean province. He ran a marathon, at first he ran like he used to but after 3 hours had pass he feel something unusual with his body, after that he collapsed and die on the road. His doctor said because of that day the weather is very hot and he’s very dehydrated, then his heart was failure.

Ploy,
ReplyDeleteAt the moment, the whole blog looks a bit messed up. The problem is caused by ... writing a post in MS Word or some other program and then pasting it. It allows strange formatting that might not be visible in Word or whatever to be copied and pasted into our class blog, with the results that we now see.
It's better to write directly in the blog.
If you do write in MS Word, or some other program, or copy and paste possibly odd formatting from a website, something I often do, use the "Remove Formatting" tool to remove all of the strange and possibly dangerous formatting. The "Remove formatting" tool is the button on the right with the underlined upper case T and a red x.
It isn't a big problem.
I'll fix it shortly.
Please carefully note Ploy's correctly written reference list citation. It is not the same as the reference citation entry in my blog post.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the very important difference? (A good answer will probably need a complex sentence, or a couple of simple ones).
My thanks to Ploy for choosing to blog a BBC News story which required her to write her reference list entry this way.
Also note the corresponding difference where Ploy cites her source in the summary paragraph.
Don't worry if this is new and unfamiliar to you. Just copy exactly what Ploy and I have done. One of our key goals this term is to practice how to appropriately use and correctly cite sources in our writing: an essential skill in every field of academic work at every level.
And Ploy's post here is very helpful.
Ploy,
ReplyDeleteYour two paragraph response is excellent.
I'm afraid that I'm not into running, but it reminded me of my mum, who at 82 years of age has suddenly taken to taking her dog for long walks with one of my sisters. She's always been active, but I'm encouraging the walks for exactly the reasons your grandfather has: it's a good family activity. We love our mum, but she's not always the easiest person to get along with, and I thought that a bit of walking and relaxed chatting was a very good thing. I'm not sure what the obese Dotty (the dog) thinks of it, but it won't do her any harm to lose a bit of weight. I don't think they'll actually be running or going out in the midday sun.
Thank you Peter. But no need to run, walk is okay to start getting healthy life. My uncle start running after he got many diseases(around 5-6 diseases) such as high blood pressure, heart problem, diabetes etc. Firstly, he start by walking 30 min 6 day a week. Then he start running. Now, he join marathon every 2 week and his diseases slowly gone. He got a better health.
