Welcome to class!
In today’s class, we’re going to talk about athletics, which is all about running and racing. We’ll learn about two types of races: short races and distance races.
Athletics – meaning of short and distance race
Athletics is like a big sports party where people run, jump, and compete in all sorts of exciting events.
Short Races:
Short races are like a quick sprint. They are usually very fast and over in a short time.
The most common short race is the 100 meters. It’s as fast as lightning!
Runners dash from the starting line to the finish line in a matter of seconds.
Short races test how fast you can run in a short burst of energy. It’s like a speedy dash to the ice cream truck!
Distance Races:
Distance races are like a marathon journey. They are much longer and require endurance.
The 800 meters is an example of a distance race. Runners need to keep a steady pace for a longer time. It’s like a slow and steady race to see who has the most endurance.
Distance races test your stamina and how well you can keep going without getting tired. It’s like a long hike in the woods.
Different Racing Skills:
Short races are all about speed and quick bursts of energy.
Distance races are about pacing yourself and keeping a steady speed for a longer time.
Today, we learned about athletics and two types of races: short races, which are like lightning sprints, and distance races, which are like marathon journeys.
Some people are great at sprinting, and others excel in long-distance running. It’s all about finding the race that suits you best!
