UNESP (julho) 2011 – Questão 27

Linguagens / Inglês / Text Comprehension / Extract important information from the text
I started to run because I felt desperately unfit. But the biggest pay-off for me was – and still is – the deep relaxation that I achieve by taking exercise. It tires me out but I find that it does calm me down. When I started running seven years ago, I could manage only 400 meters before I had to stop. Breathless and aching, I walked the next quarter of a mile, alternating these two activities for a couple of kilometers.
When I started to jog I never dreamt of running in a marathon, but a few years later I realized that if I trained for it, the London Marathon, one of the biggest British sporting events, would be within my reach. My story shows that an unfit 39-year-old, as I was when I started running, who had taken no serious exercise for twenty years, can do the marathon – and that this is a sport in which women can beat men. But is it crazy to do it? Does it make sense to run in the expectation of becoming healthier?
My advice is: if you are under forty, healthy and feel well, you can begin as I did by jogging gently until you are out of breath, then walking, and alternating the two for about three kilometers. Build up the jogging in stages until you can do the whole distance comfortably.

O parágrafo que melhor se encaixaria na sequência do texto, como um parágrafo adicional, seria
a) If you are over 40 you should not attempt to start jogging because you will probably not be able to run any marathon in your life. Running is an appropriate sport for athletes and young people but not for you.
b) Over 40s should begin by making a vigorous walk of at least three kilometers part of their daily routine. When you can do this comfortably you can start the mixed jogging and walking routine and progress from there.
c) Over 40s must begin by making a vigorous walk of at least one kilometer part of their routine. If you can walk comfortably you should probably not be able to mix jogging and walking.
d) I advise you not to practice jogging or walking if you dream about running the London Marathon. Running is an appropriate sport for athletes but not for you.
e) If you are over 40 maybe you should not attempt to jog until you have gone through medical examination. And to alternate jogging and running might also be a suggestion for a successful start.
