Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
Completing a marathon is considered very difficult, but many coaches believe that it is possible for
anyone who 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 barriers. 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. 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, adequate recovery 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 a greater risk of injury.

A. impossible B. very difficult C. easy D. not very difficult

A. he should take a break for several days B. he should continue the training
C. it is time for him to stop his training D. he should quit running forever
