Running

Running is defined as the fastest method for an "animal move" on foot. It is defined in sporting terms as a gait in which at some point all feet are off the ground at the same time. Running is both a competition and a type of training. As a sport, it is split into events divided by distance and sometimes includes permutations such as the obstacles in Steeplechase and hurdles. Running races are contests to determine which of the competitors is able to run a certain distance in the shortest time. In nowadays, competitive running events make up the core of the sport of athletics.
