Answer:

The correct answer is through anaerobic respiration in the cytoplasm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cellular respiration is of 2 types

1 Aerobic respiration Respiration that require oxygen to occur

2 Anaerobic respiration Respiration that do not requires oxygen.

During low oxygen level the body of runner keep up with the demand for energy by undergoing anaerobic respiration which includes Glycolysis.

During anaerobic condition the functionally active body cells undergo glycolysis and with each glycolysis 2 molecules of ATP are generated which can some how boost the energy supply within runner"s body.
