Every day,in all kinds of weather,thousands of men and women go jogging.
Why has jogging——running slowly for long distances——become so popular?
Most joggers like it because they have heard it is very good exercise.
Jogging makes the heart stronger and helps people lose weight.
It can also help them feel better about themselves.
How fast should you go?
Jog with a friend and talk to each other as you run.
If you have difficulty talking,you are gooing too fast.
How far should you jog?
Remember not to go too far too soon.
In fact you should walk,not run,the first few times.
Then do some short jogs,but no more than what you can do comfortalby.
After that,increase your distance a quarter or half of a mile every two weeks or so.
Maybe in a few years,you,too,can run in a marathon like thousands of other people do.
每天，在各種各樣的天氣裏，成千上萬的男人和女人去慢跑。
爲什麼慢跑——長距離慢跑——變得如此流行？
大多數慢跑者喜歡它，因爲他們聽說它是很好的運動。
慢跑使心臟更強壯，幫助人們減肥。
它還可以幫助他們自我感覺更好。
你應該走多快？
和朋友一起慢跑，跑步時互相交談。
如果你說話有困難，那就是你太快了。
你應該慢跑多遠？
記住不要走得太遠太快。
事實上，你應該走，而不是跑，頭幾次。
然後做一些短距離慢跑，但不要超過你能舒適地做的。
之後，每兩週左右增加四分之一或半英里的距離。
也許幾年後，你也可以像其他成千上萬的人一樣參加馬拉松比賽。
