When you run a race, your body burns calories to produce energy for your muscles to move. As you run, your body converts stored energy from nutrients like carbohydrates and fats into usable energy for muscle contractions. This process increases your heart rate, breathing rate, and body temperature to support the increased energy demands of the race.

You indirectly get energy from the sun by eating plants or animals that have derived their energy from the sun through photosynthesis. This food provides you with the energy needed to run a race.
If you run out of energy during a marathon race, it is important to slow down your pace, stay hydrated, and consume easily digestible carbohydrates like energy gels or sports drinks to replenish your energy levels. It may also help to take short walking breaks to conserve energy and avoid overexertion. Listen to your body and prioritize your safety and well-being during the race.
When potential energy changes to kinetic energy, it is called energy transformation.
When energy changes form, some of the energy always changes into heat. This is known as the law of conservation of energy, where energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only transferred or converted into different forms. Heat is a common byproduct of energy transformations due to inefficiencies in the process.
Changes in energy are typically referred to as energy transformations or energy conversions, as energy changes from one form to another. This can include processes like converting electrical energy to kinetic energy in a motor or converting chemical energy in food to mechanical energy in our bodies.
