Serious runners are renowed for their slender physiques,thanks to the hundreds of calories a good run eats up.

如果你是个初跑者，必须先慢慢培养耐力。
For starters,simply walk a block or two，then run a block，then walk again.
对初跑者而言，刚开始先走一两个街区后，再跑一个街区，然后再走。
Slowly increase your distance.about 10 percent a week.

Three times a week over a period of several weeks，try to run longer distances and walk less.
先试跑几个星期.每周跑三次，每次试跑远一点，走少一点。
You may start out feeling like a sorry sack of potatoes，but you'll probably be surprised at how quickly you can progress.
刚开始你也许觉得自已活像是一大袋可怜的马铃薯，但慢慢地你可能会很惊讶自己竟能进步得这么快。
