Your opinion though, is rather like the opinion of a long-distance runner who has finally made it past the winning post.(你的感覺很象一個長跑運動員終于跑過了終點。)

If a distance runner practices speed work for the whole practice every day, he will not improve his endurance.(如果一名中長跑選手每天只進行速度練習，那么他將不能提高自己的耐力。)

He is a long-distance runner.(他是一個長跑選手。)

The country's great long-distance runner, Kenenisa Bekele, ran down an Eritrean rival to win gold in the world athletics championships.(首先是該國最偉大的長跑選手貝克勒終于戰勝厄立特里亞宿敵，封冠世錦賽。)

The Afghan middle-distance runner nonetheless trekked on and was on the verge of realizing her Olympic dream.(這位阿富汗中長跑選手并未為此所動，她堅持鍛煉，她的奧運夢也快要實現了。)

I remember, in the school, I took part in every sports competition, as a long-distance runner and a sprinter. but now I can not. maybe I am too old to run.(或者跑步回家，當鍛煉身體啦，馬拉松不就是這樣跑出來的？哈哈。記得學校里時，偶可是長跑短跑的能手，每次運動會，老師都會叫偶參加的，可是現在不行了了，老了。)

In the late 1950s, Philip Knight was a middle-distance runner on the University of Oregon track team, coached by Bill Bowerman.(在20世紀50年代末，菲利普·奈特是俄勒岡大學田徑隊的一名中長跑運動員，他的教練是比爾·鮑爾曼。)

He is a very good middle and long distance runner.(他是非常優秀的中長跑運動員。)

If they train as hard, shouldn't a true distance runner be given the opportunity to use their strengths to drop a true middle-distance runner before it's time to kick?(如果他們訓練的強度夠大，當比賽開始前難道不是一個真正的長跑運動員通過給予的機會并利用自己的優勢贏了一個真正的中長跑選手？)

You will become a great athlete at running 1 to 2 miles at LT pace, but as a distance runner you need to maintain a quality pace for much longer distances.(用乳酸閾配速跑1至2英里，你會是一個優秀的運動員，但作為一個長跑者，你需要在更長的距離上保持有質量的配速。)
