2 . If you've ever considered training for a marathon, but you are a bit scared by the idea of 26. 2 miles, here is some motivation.
A slow and steady six-month training program designed to gradually build up endurance, gave a group of novice ( 新手) runners , ages 21 to 69, an impressive boost to their heart health.
“As you get older, the normal aging process causes changes in your heart and your vessels," the study author Dr. Bhuva says.“And hardening of the arteries increases the risk of many diseases."
The training program was a slow build-up over six months. But it turned out that the older, slower runners saw the most benefits, in terms of reducing blood pressure and arterial stiffness. Even among people with existing heart disease, regular physical activity can help improve heart health.

When I was 13 years old, I was given an opportunity to join a soccer team. The team was consisted of some of the best players in the state of Pennsylvania. Because I had been playing soccer for five years, I never thought I was good enough to be on this team. At first, I had a hard time fit in, but after our first couple training session, other players accepted me. I gained confidence because I learn not many of players could play in different positions like me. Our first game was in Chicago and I won by a lot. I counted myself very luckily to have joined such a amazing team. That opportunity was the reason that I became a coach. I am proud being the coach for the same team!

In recent years, Lake Baikal, the deepest freshwater lake, has paid much attention to because of a extreme sport. Each March, about 150 people signed up for the Baikal Lake Marathon. They come to explore the lake's extraordinarily beauty and challenge themselves in unpredictable conditions. And on March, the ice is a meter thick and very hard. Runners cross the frozen surface, finishing on the western sides of the lake. Knowing as the “blue eye of Siberia," the lake has clear water. When seen from above, runners on the ice look as if he were jogging through space. The landscape might to be beautiful but it is a severe test. Runners say the cold climate is that draws them.
