Question

(01.04 mc) pam currently runs on a track an hour a day, three days a week. how can she increase the intensity of her runs? (5 points)
∘ start running five days a week
∘ start running in hilly areas or trails
∘ switch to walking six miles each day
∘ add 20 minutes to each run

Explanation:

To increase the intensity of a run, we need to consider factors that make the exercise more challenging. Running in hilly areas or trails increases the resistance and effort required due to the terrain (inclines, uneven surfaces), which directly boosts intensity.

• "Start running five days a week" increases frequency, not intensity.
• "Switch to walking six miles each day" decreases intensity as walking is less intense than running.
• "Add 20 minutes to each run" increases duration, not intensity.

Answer:

B. Start running in hilly areas or trails
