ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY

Read the article given and complete the following tasks.

Running has been a popular form of exercise since the 1970s, but in recent years the number of people
running and participating in road races has hit record levels. Running provides many health benefits,
but that doesn’t mean it is a good fit for everyone

Firstly, regardless of exercise type, doing too much too soon can result in injuries (Philips, 2012).
However, Achilles tendinitis, plantar fasciitis, shin splints, stress fractures, and runners’ knee are a few
specific ailments often reported by runners (Sports Today, 2013). Training for long distances, ignoring
rest days, and running through pain contributes to these injuries.

Surprisingly many people gain weight when they begin running, or when training for a long distance
event. According to Robson and Edwards (2014), reasons for this weight gain may include an increase
in muscle mass and increased glycogen in the muscle, which is stored with extra water. Additionally, as
weekly mileage increases, many people experience an increase in appetite. They add that to satisfy
this hunger, it is easy to eat and drink excess calories that lead to weight gain.

Once you start running, you may begin to connect with other runners due to shared interests. You may
be impressed by their dedication, and feel challenged to keep up. Invitations to run further or faster can
be difficult to turn down, but when you don’t take things slowly and work at your own pace, you risk
injury, burnout, and feelings of defeat.

While high-tech gear is not required, there is plenty out there that can make running more enjoyable.
Current research reveal that many runners spend money on GPS watches, compression sleeves,
running hats, sports sunglasses, and special foods and drinks, all have the potential to make running
more expensive (Whitley, 2013; Benedict & Cartwright, 2014 & Morris, 2014). If you plan to compete in
races regularly, registration fees also present a financial barrier. Most 5K races range from $15 to $30.
Longer distance races, such as half marathons and full marathons, can cost anywhere from $50 to well
over $150 for a single registration.

To ensure a safe start, get the okay from your doctor, and start slowly by integrating short segments of
running into a walking program. Over time, increase the running segments and decrease your walking

events.
