English term or phrase: a distance runner clicking off mile after mile
Visualize a world-class distance runner, clicking off mile after mile at a five-minute pace. Now picture an out-of-shape, 250-pound couch potato trying to run a mile at a ten-minute pace. The professional runner glides along gracefully, almost effortlessly, despite the long distance and fast pace.

Explanation:
Distance runner = fundista
Clicking = "clicando" o cronômetro ou medindo o próprio desempenho
Mile = acho melhor usar quilômetro na tradução (localização)

agree  expressisverbis: Estive a tentar responder a esta pergunta e realmente cá chamamos de "corredor de fundo" e "click off" é realmente cronometrar... a localização também é importante. Encontrei um dicionário fixe com entradas do verbo, mas perdi-lhe o rasto.

  -> Obrigado, Sandra. Eu ainda estou em dúvidas quanto a esse "clicking".

Explanation:
Desculpe postar duas respostas, mas "clicking" pode ter dois sentidos bastante diferentes aqui e o segundo pode ser o som dos ossos estalando.
