Hunting the Saber-toothed Tiger
According to my co-jogger the survival of mankind in former times - let`s say the ice-age - depended upon how fit people were in running and hunting. He believes, that in order to slay the sabber-toothed tiger a man must be able to run the Marathon-distance regularly - equipped with bow and arrows.
I wonder, because I thought to survive during the ice-age meat of other animals was needed. But the sample of the animal above is a rather fat one and who really knows why men hunted the tiger at all. Perhaps people only wished to furnish their caves with the enormous teeth the beast carries in its mouth.
But my co-jogger encouraged me to run a longer distance myself and he made his last Marathon last Sunday in a very good time and in a rather casual way.
