Informative Speech On Running

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows that it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a lion or a gazelle, when the sun comes up you’d better be running. ~Author Unknown. Running is something that most people you talk to are against, and for seemingly good reason! Running is tiring, tough work that most people just don’t care to do, period. But running can slow the effects of aging, help you to relax and smile, sleep better and feel more energized, and help you fight off various diseases and other unhealthy conditions. And I'm really glad that I get the opportunity to

I will discuss about track and field, its history, and how it can benefit you. Even if you're a slow jogger, you'll burn at least 10 calories per minute of running. That means you'll run off a block of chocolate in less than 23 minutes! Everyone can participate in track and field, you might think it's too much work or you don't fit in this sport, after reading one of its benefits you'll change your mind and might give it a try.

Lorena Falasco Elementary implemented a Running Club this year. Our club meets two days a week after school. We have two coaches (teachers) and parent helpers per team, which are separated by grade levels. To include community members, we invited students from our local high schools that are on the cross country team, and individuals who have participated in 5k’s and half marathons to participate in our practices, we call them our “Celebrity Runners”. The excitement from our student’s faces was priceless. It was a fantastic opportunity to get our community members involved with our school, and to interact with our student’s in a positive way. What I learned by participating in this club is that something as simple as a running club for elementary students could make such a positive and a wonderful learning experience for everyone involved (parents, teachers, students, community members). By doing so, we created a welcoming atmosphere for Lorena Falasco Elementary

For 2 years I was a member of the Central Toronto Athletic Club. CTAC is a competitive middle distance running club that trains its athletes to compete in track and field and cross country events. It is a year round athletic club that is a platform for talented people of almost all ages to train and to focus on their self-progress as an athlete. At CTAC I was encouraged to push myself to test the limits of my speed, endurance and strength and to discover what my body is truly capable of. Running was a very satisfying sport because my achievements were directly proportional to the amount of work that I put in. At CTAC, I learned discipline, dedication and perseverance. I had to balance my schoolwork with daily practices or workouts, I ran six

Running has many different aspects of workouts and forms of doing it. Comparisons a lot of people make is that cross country and track are the same thing, but those two sports are entirely different. Both do deal with running, but the differences are very major and they go much as to change the workouts done for the sports. More comparisons that are mostly said that if a runner enjoys long distance running then they also should go out for track since it has long distance events. Even though it has those events it doesn’t change the fact the two are very different.

Without help from students all over the town, this yearly occasion would not continue. Many cars or other unregistered runners or walkers may come into the race and compete for the first place award. This community race has been going on for

Running has become a therapy for me. Whether to relieve stress or simply challenge myself to run, I eagerly chase my running goals. Like the careful planning and preparation of my diet and training, running in many ways has mirrored my path to medical school.

Long distances races have been part of cultures and traditions since centuries and have also been used for economic and travelling purposes. It was also used as a message service, when messengers ran to cover long distances in order to convey messages from one place to another. Since the end of 19th century it has been used and recognized also as a sport, when it was first incorporated in the 1896 Olympics. Long distance races start from 5 to 10 kilometers and are usually longer than 40 kilometers in length, projected to test and increase the physical endurance of the people. It is also physically healthy and increases the stamina of the people that can be useful in other fields and activities of life like participation in armed forces and activities like exercising, aerobics and yoga (Kim, et al.).

Even with the financial difficulty. One of the many runners last year quoted "last years' experience was life-changing for her." So many people contribute their time, energy and creativity. It is what keeps the race ongoing and consistent every year. One of my targets is for the proceeds from the race is to cover the expenses. A priority is the course runner safety and to do so is reasonably support them on the course and to provide a great running experience. "I also like the idea of contributing somewhat to the community by providing a health-promoting activity. And I really like the running community. I find them to be a friendly and appreciative people." (Heck, 2017.) With the understanding of the communities and who are living within the communities, the majority is Native Americans. Majority of the Navajo Nation, Natives are diagnosed with diabetes. They are 1.6 times higher in death rate and 110% increase is diagnosed 15-19 years of age on up. Showing and motivating them to come and contribute to the race will hopefully change their lives in some way to become better, healthier and motivated. Many of the young children are diagnosed and helping them would change their future in their culture and keep it strong and going.

If you are a runner, whether new to the sport or a veteran, you know there are those days where being motivated to run is difficult. Whether it is the distance or overcoming the soreness and pain associated with a previous run, there are days when the idea of running is completely unappealing.

First, you have to identify a race. There are a variety of websites that provide a list (active.com, for example). This is important because preparing for a 5K or 10K or 10 miler is not the same as a multi-sport event. You need the time to train not for one event (running) but two, so the

There is a big topic in the sports and athletic world today surrounding the activity of long distance running. This seems to be an activity that people either love or hate, and there never really is an in between. Despite whether a person likes long distance running or not, the topic that this paper will be focusing on is whether it is beneficial to one’s health. After researching the effects that long distance has, I have concluded that it is a beneficial method to achieve physical fitness and improve health. Running has been shown to improve not only physical health, but also mental health, and though it is beneficial, there is an incorrect way to run long distances and that is where much of the argument lies. I will be explaining both the physical and mental advantages of long distance running as well as explain where the potential injury lies in the activity. Overall, I will be proving that the activity of long distance running is beneficial.

Running in general is a full body exercise, no matter if it’s on a treadmill or just running on open road. It has been debated since treadmills came out if they are better than road running. I do believe that running on a treadmill is not the same as running on the road. Yes they are both forms of exercises but I do believe one is more effective than the other. So I’m going to give you a full brief on why I think so.

But once you know about the benefits of long-distance running, you’ll be excited to get your feet on the running track.

Many see the foible of running, for they believe it is repetitive and boring. Those who say that have a good point. After all, one is just moving quickly down a long, straight, unchanging asphalt road with no electronics to play with or nothing to eat or drink. They do not understand that running is very versatile
