weapon is our sweat.We have 2-4 million sweat glands (腺) all over our body，which means we can run and cool ourselves at the same time.Having no fur is also a huge plus.In contrast，dogs rely on panting (喘息)to cool down，and other animals，like horses and camels，also sweat，but less effectively.As a result，they overheat faster and must slow down sooner.
So，why did humans get to be such great endurance runners，anyway？Some experts believe this became important around 2-3 million years ago，when we started hunting.Because we couldn't chase down a gazelle (瞪羚) like a cheetah，early humans learned hunting.
Studies show running can lower body weight and body fat.And the longer you train，the greater the benefits are.Just one year of training has been shown to reduce body weight by about 7 lbs，lower body fat by 2.7% and decrease resting heart rate by 2.7%.
It may seem really hard，or even impossible to run a mile or a marathon.But in fact，you were born to go on that run.We all were.
