You Can Run a Mile!Demian L. started running about a year and a half ago at his school in Brooklyn, N. Y., and then he joined another running program, called the Mighty Milers. Demian, now in fifth grade, took first place in the 1,500-meter race for his age group. He ran nearly 1 mile, in 5 minutes and 44 seconds. That is superfast! “I felt really good and it was a big confidence builder," he said. To train for the race, Demian ran three times a week and did stretching (拉伸)exercises and other sports. He likes the way running keeps him fit and feeling good. “Running makes me happy!” he said.Can you run a mile? Of course you can. Larry Greene, an exercise science expert (专家), a former runner and coach, thinks it"s a good idea to join a school team or a local running club that has a good coach. A coach can teach you correct running form—that’s how you hold your body and move your arms and legs. If you learn to run in the right way, you won"t get hurt. A coach can also remind you to pace yourself. “If you start too fast, you"ll have to slow down or stop," Greene explained ( 解释).“If you start too slowly, you might not meet your time goal.”The library and the Internet can improve your running. “When I first started running a mile, I got much help from reading about the sports," Greene said. “Learn as much as you can by reading books and magazines about running.”To train for a mile run, start by running a short distance (距离), such as one-quarter mile. Over the next few weeks, slowly increase the distance by one-eighth or one-quarter of a mile at a time. That gives your body time to adjust (调整) to each new challenge. It can also lower your risk of getting hurt. If you ever feel too tired to keep going, stop. “Don"t push you when running becomes painful,” Greene said.And never run outside alone—have a workout partner who will run with you. Warm up, stretch, and cool down together. Check your running forms each other. Having someone else watch you run will help you make sure you are running safely. It helps to pass the time too!【小题1】Taking first place in the 1,500-meter race makes Demian feel ________.
