Question

which of the following best describes endurance runners?
those who run at a slow pace and rest frequently
those who run at a slower speed but for a longer duration
those who run faster over a short distance

Explanation:

Endurance running focuses on sustaining activity over longer periods. The first option's "rest frequently" goes against endurance (which is about sustained effort). The third option describes sprinting (short - distance, fast). The second option, running at a slower speed but for a longer duration, matches the concept of endurance as it emphasizes the ability to keep going for an extended time, even if the speed is not high.

Answer:

B. those who run at a slower speed but for a longer duration (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C with A being "those who run at a slow pace and rest frequently", B being "those who run at a slower speed but for a longer duration", and C being "those who run faster over a short distance")
