running a marathon can add years to your life.

Now let's hear more about that story from the BBC's health editor, Michele Roberts.

It was the first ever marathon that the runners had attempted, although they didn't complete it that quickly.

It took the men and women between four and 1/2 and five and 1/2 hours on average to run the 26.2 miles of the race.

The six months of training they put in to reach their gold appeared to improve their heart and circulatory health.

Well, Neil, have you ever run a marathon?

Well, I mean, I know you did tell me you've won 1.5 marathons because she ran 3/2 marathon, But not really, I think running a marathon, you have to do a fair amount.

Training and I half run the marathon in London Marathon.

I had to stop for a massage, lots of things.

But there is a study out by Bart's and University College of London that found when they looked 100 and 38 novice runners.

So that's people who are just starting to run.

They found that through the six months training that they had to do for the marathon, that they actually cut four years off their vascular life.

I'II their heart health on dat that this also helped to reduce heart disease on dhe strokes.

Or it could help to reduce heart disease and stroke.

So amazing findings running is really good for you.

So you've been, ah, scanning the world's media for this story and you've picked out three words and expressions.

Cuts taking on on dhe reverse cuts taking on and reverse.

Okay, let's hear your first headline with that word.

Anna is running marathon cuts Years off, Artery age.

Now, Georgina, I thought that cuts and cutting was to do with a knife and removing something with a knife.

Perhaps you felt like cutting your legs off after your marathon because they were so painful I did.

I mean, that would possibly be a little bit more painful, but yes, by not having them there, I think that it would have been a bit less painful for for the first couple of hours.

In fact, the meaning in this headline is Maur figurative on.

It means to reduce the age of your heart are or make your heart younger.

Okay, so the thing that connects physical cutting with this concept is making it smaller.

If you cut something, it becomes reduced in size.

Yes, so it means to shorten or to reduce.

Interestingly, a lot of the time we find cut used in Fraser verbs or other words.

But in this context is just the verb is cut, then it has a proposition afterwards.

But just to connect it to the next phrase of the sentence is very common in newspaper headlines.

It's very short, and that's always a good thing for headlines.

Yeah, short and succinct on Dhe, you can use it as a noun, so government cuts made life much more tricky for certain groups off the population.

So we hear the word cuts meaning reductions in spending on.

Also, as you said, it forms part of another word.

So, yeah, Even if you're talking in the past, it would be I cut my finger last week.

You can't even tell you really only need Thio.

The only way you can tell whether it's in the past or it's a past participle is because of the rest of the sentence and possibly the verb it congregates with.

OK, let's cut this and have a summary of that word on dhe.

My second headline is Taking on this Fitness challenge could reduce your vascular age by four years, taking on meaning, making a decision to do something challenging.

Every day is something that is difficult to do, and it's the action off.

Deciding to do it and even though you know it might be quite tricky, might be quite difficult.

So a perfect example of this would be running a marathon.

Exactly, because you can't just turn what you can, but it would be quite painful, but you you have to go on the day.

But you also need to spend months training before s so that you can actually complete it without hurting yourself.

So really crucial to this is the idea of challenge.

However, you could say I've seen this amazing recipe is a bit complicated, but I'm going to take it on, okay?

Or if my lunch was an enormous the biggest sandwich or, you know, packet of biscuits that you've ever seen in your life.

Uh, we did hear about a possible well challenge.

Certain someone beginning with our decided Thio.

Unfortunately, he needs to have a little bit more practice.

It was too much for a challenge, even for Rob.

Eso in the past, it's took on as a past participle.

It is taken on is a phrase over bits separable.

So, for example, you could say I took on the difficult project or I took the difficult project on Andi Also noticed that TheStreet s in the verb is owned the second word.

So I took on the difficult project or I I took the difficult project on.

If you would like to hear another story about running, we have one, don't we, Georgina?
