:''This article is about the runner. For the 19th-century American politician and lawyer see John Armor Bingham.'' John Bingham (born 1948) is an American marathon runner and author, nicknamed "The Penguin", who has achieved widespread recognition for promoting the walking of long-distance race courses to the general public. 〔(John "The Penguin" Bingham biography | JohnBingham.com )〕 〔http://www.nytimes.com/2009/10/23/sports/23marathon.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0〕 Bingham is the author of several books and the ''No Need for Speed'' column in ''Runner's World''. He believes that the goals of running are to have fun and finish—and that for a vast majority of amateur athletes running fast should not be the only aim. His philosophies are often challenged and dismissed by runners, who feel that Bingham's "penguins" have lowered the bar for athletic achievement.〔(The Man Who Ruined Running | Feature | Chicago )〕〔 He has completed over 40 marathons and many shorter races. In June 2014 Bingham announced that he would retire from writing and public speaking at the end of the year.〔(John "The Penguin" Bingham Announces Retirement | Runner's World & Running Times )〕 ==Bibliography== * * * * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Bingham (runner)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
