Copious friends in my close circle are real keen on the sports of long-distance running, 

however, practices had been decreased drastically throughout the epidemic, 

and it is much like they are starting their training from square one again nowadays. 

Even though I have not participated in any training in the department of long-distance running, 

I do find that bountiful relating philosophies 

to be applicable in our day-to-day lives, 

say for example, the strength to complete a race 

is obtained little by little throughout the trainings,
