Argument for Running
It was perfect July day in Vermont-- clear and cool. Jim Fixx, on the eve of a longawaited vacation, put on his running clothes and headed down a rural road for his daily run, expecting to do the usual twelve to fifteen miles.(46), the best selling author of The Complete Book Of Running, and the reigning instructor of the American exercise group. In 1968 he had weighed 214 pounds, smoked two packs of cigarettes a day, and worried about his family health history.(47). So Fixx started running and stopped smoking, he lost 60 pounds and introduced America to the virtues of strenuous exercise: longevity, freedom from depression, energy, and the "runner’s high." He regularly ran 80 miles a week. When he hit the road on July 21, 1984, Fixx weighed 154 pounds and seemed the perfect image of fitness.(48). A motorcyclist found his body later that afternoon.
(49). Of all people, how could Jim Fixx have died of a heart attack? Millions of joggers, runners, swimmers, cyclists, tri-athletes, walkers, weightlifters, had convinced themselves that exercise preserved youth and postponed death. It was the yuppie panacea; "working out" made them immune to the ravage of time.
Even more puzzling, Fixx had been complaining for months of chest pains while running--clear signs of a deadly angina, the heart muscle protecting lack of oxygen(50). He resisted, attempting to will good health. In January 1984, he had agreed to a treadmill test, but he skipped the appointment that afternoon, running 16 miles instead. Why had someone so committed to death ignored such obvious warnings? How had sports, exercise, and fitness become such obsessions in the U. S. ?
A Twenty minutes into the run he had a massive heart attack and died on the side of road
B Fixx’ death shocked middle-and upper-class America
C Friends had expressed concern and urged him to get a check-up
D Fixx’s father had died of a heart attack at age of forty-three
E At fifty-two years of age, Fixx was a millionaire
F The impact of walking is reduced by at least a third compared to running
