1
Part 2 You will hear a podcast by a running coach giving advice about taking up running
2
and giving information about her club.
3
First, you have some time to look at questions 11 to 14.
4
Now listen carefully and answer questions 11 to 14.
5
My name's Liz Fuller and I'm a running coach with Compton Park Runners Club.
6
Welcome to my podcast.
7
If you're thinking about taking up running, I'm here to help.
8
There are many training programmes available online, which aim to help people build up to running five kilometres.
9
Some of them are great, and thousands of people of all ages are taking part in five -kilometre races across the country as a result.
10
People like them because they're easy to follow and don't push them too hard.
11
However, they don't work for everyone, especially if you suffer from something like a heart condition or asthma
12
because they're aimed at people with average fitness and running ability.
13
Another thing is that everyone is different and if you have any specific questions related to your needs, there's no one to provide any answers.
14
I have a couple of simple tips I always give to new runners.
15
I expect you've been told to run very slowly until your fitness increases.
16
Well, I find that can prevent progress.
17
You should run at a speed that feels comfortable, but time yourself and try to run a bit faster each time.
18
Listening to music can be very helpful.
19
It takes your mind off things and helps your body get into a rhythm.
20
I'd say that is better than running with a friend, especially as most people are competitive and that's not what you want when you're just starting.
21
I don't think the time of day is especially important.
22
Some people are better in the evening, while others are morning people.
23
But you need to be consistent, so aim to train regularly.
24
Twice a week is enough to begin with.
25
Before you hear the rest of the podcast, you have some time to look at questions 15 to 20.
26
Now listen and answer questions 15 to 20.
27
New members often say to me that they've been put off running either
28
because they lack confidence or they don't have time or they think they dislike running.
29
Kerry, for example, joined the club two years ago at the age of 40.
30
She'd always enjoyed running at school, but wasn't sure if she'd be able to do it.
31
She was worried about being left behind and being the slowest runner.
32
But, she says, she was made to feel so welcome, she soon forgot all about that.
33
James had always hated the idea of running, but a friend encouraged him to come along for a taster session and he hasn't looked back.
34
He never misses a training session, despite having a really demanding job.
35
Leo was worried about having to commit himself to training sessions every week
36
and wasn't sure he'd be able to fit training into his busy schedule.
37
But after experiencing a lot of stress at work, he came along to us and gave it a go.
38
Now he says he feels much more relaxed and he looks forward to his weekly run.
39
Mark is quite typical of our new members.
40
He's never considered himself to be a sporty person
41
and it was only when he retired that he decided to take up the challenge of trying to run five kilometres.
42
It took him months to find the courage to contact us,
43
but felt reassured immediately as there were other people his age who were only just taking up running for the first time.
44
My own journey hasn't been easy.
45
I did my first marathon when I was 37, after having had two kids.
46
My husband had been running marathons for years, but I never dreamed I'd be doing one with him.
47
I managed to complete it in four hours, but I felt like giving up halfway through.
48
It was only the support of the spectators that kept me going.
49
I do think signing up for a race of whatever length is motivating, whether it's 5k or 25k,
50
because it's good to have something to work towards and it gives you a sense of achievement.
51
I did my first 10k after only six months, which was certainly very challenging and not something I'd necessarily recommend.
52
But after you've been training for a few weeks, it's worth putting your name down for a 5k.
53
Some people find they only need a few practice runs before taking part in a race, but I'd give yourself a couple of months at least.
54
Well, I hope that's given you a really good idea of what...

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
