* Passage 8 :

Completing a marathon is considered very difficult, many coaches believe that it is possible for anyonewho is willing to put in the time and effort. Obviously, most participants do not run a marathon to win. More

important for most runners is their personal finish time and their placement within their specific age group and

gender. Another very important goal is to break certain time barries. For example, ambitious recreational first-timers often try to run the marathon under 4 hours; more competitive runners will attempt to run under 3 hours.


5/9

Many runners then prefer to finish for example in 3:29:59, which makes them " sub-3:30h marathoners ",

instead of 3:30:01.For most runners, the marathon is the longest run they have ever attempted. Many coaches believe that

the most important element in marathon training is the long run. Recreational runners commonly try to reach a

maximum of about 20 miles in their longest weekly run and about 40 miles a week in total when training for the

marathon. More experienced marathoners may run a longer distance. During marathon training, adequaterecovery time is crucial. If fatigue or pain is felt, it is recommended to take a break for a couple of days or more

to let the body heal. Overtraining is a condition that results from not getting enough rest to allow the body to

recover from difficult training. It can actually result in a lower endurance and speed and place a runner at agreater risk of injury.

century, although more slowly. The world's population is projected to grow from 6 billion in 1999 to 9 billion

by 2042, an increase of 50 percent that will require43 years.

The world's population growth rate rose from about 1.5 percent per year from 1950 to 1951 to a peak of

over 2 percent in the early 1960s due to reductions in mortality. Growth rates thereafter started to decline due to

rising age at marriage as well as increasing availability and use of effective contraceptive methods. Note thatchanges in population growth have not always been steady. A dip in the growth rate from 1959 to 1960, for

instance, was due to the Great Leap Forward in China. During that time, both natural disasters and decreasedagricultural output in the wake of massive social reorganization caused China's death rate to rise sharply and its

fertility rate to fall by almost half.
