In recent years,marathon events have blossomed all over the country,the number of marathon events has risen year by year,setting off a national marathon boom,more and more ordinary people have become marathon runners,and middle-class runners occupy a large proportion of the marathon runner team,so it is necessary to pay attention to this group.Based on Foucault’s body discipline theory,this paper takes middleclass amateur marathon runners as the research object,adopts the literature data method,participation observation method,and interview method to collect microscopic data,and through in-depth communication with the interviewee,understands the running behavior and daily practice of body management of the middle-class amateur marathon runners,and analyzes the body discipline mechanism acting on them,so as to understand their body management behavior and running practice.At the same time,discipline is essentially a power technology for managing and controlling people,and as people with subjective initiative,they will have a certain confrontation with it,and the aesthetics of survival and partial resistance are metaphors for resistance expressed in their daily behavior practice.Finally,the discipline of the body is reflected on and countermeasures are proposed at the individual and societal levels.The research conclusions of this paper are: First,the physical discipline of the middle-class amateur runners shows the characteristics of combining self-discipline and external interaction discipline,of which selfdiscipline is the mainstay,showing self-selection,self-management and self-responsibility;Second,body discipline originates from the role of the "monitoring society" constructed by rational social encirclement,health awareness awakening,image expectation and single body aesthetics,and information technology development,which in turn has an impact on the running behavior and body management of the middle-class amateur runners;Third,the practice of body discipline of the middle-class amateur individual reflection is the alienation phenomenon of middle-class runners in a rational iron cage,and should pay attention to personalized expression,the pursuit of freedom and liberation,and social reflection is the lack of individual perceptual care.The fourth is to put forward physical discipline countermeasures from the individual and social levels,the middle-class amateur runners at the individual level should return to their hearts and really need them,and the social level should give individuals emotional care.
