Ibn Soulaymane Arrassmouki Unit 8 Grammar I
Technical High School Phrasal Verbs
A. Read the text and answer the reading comprehension questions:
My father was an athlete back in his day. As a child I had never really seen him participate in any sports; I only heard the stories about his glory days playing high school basketball, baseball, rugby and running track and field. The only sport I ever really saw my father participate in was running. He trained and ran in five marathons while I was between the ages of 10 and 25 years old. Perhaps this is what made me interested in running, too.
I tried out for a local running club to see if they had room for a new runner to join. As it turned out, the only requirement was to show up every Tuesday to run with the group. No experience necessary. So my worries about being able to keep up with the other runners were gone when I found out that there were other beginners like me in the club.
Training for a running race is harder than it looks. It takes discipline, preparation and the will to keep going, no matter what. I felt like I was in good enough shape to begin the training for a ten kilometer run. The only question remaining was: would I chicken out before making it to the end?
I ran four days a week including Tuesday with the running club. After running for five weeks I’d had my first injury.
While running on a slippery sidewalk, I tripped and hurt my ankle. My training schedule was set back two weeks while I rested and healed. I was not about to give up however; I knew that once my ankle was better, I would be able to continue with the training.
As well as the four days a week of running, the training program required us to work out 3 days a week. It was during those workouts when I most wanted to give up. However, the leader of the running club was very supportive of the members and I remember feeling that I didn`t want to let down the leader by giving up before reaching my goal.
Once my training was complete, I was ready for the race: a ten kilometer run through the trails of Gatineau Park. I used one of the tips I had learned from the running club. I remembered not to try to catch up with the person ahead of me too fast. Catching up too fast is a common mistake made by new runners who end up dropping out of the race. Instead I tried to maintain a steady pace to maintain the distance between me and the person ahead. I finished the race under my goal time. Wow, what a rush!
1) What is required for a new member to join the running club? ………
………
2) How had the runner first become interested in running? ………..

3) Did the running program include any other training besides running? If so, what did the runner think about the other training? ………..………
