Let’s not forget that the first person to run a marathon died, so it truly is a life threatening risk you take when you take this on

She has no fuel on her. That’s so important in long distance running. Rhabdo is sooo common in sports. Doesn’t matter if you’re an amateur or professional. Please seek training guidance for high endurance athletics.

She looked so happy and so excited, to go from this moment of happiness to passing away is devastating. Literally heartbreaking. Sending love and condolences to her family and friends!🙏

in the next 10 years people will learn that long distance running/biking or anything like that is so bad for you and your heart. we were not designed to do it. just because we can doesn’t mean we should. my uncle did long bike rides and he ended up dying on the bike from cardiac arrest. he was otherwise very healthy

Humans didn’t evolve to run 5 miles non-stop, only for short distances. Crazy that marathons are even a thing, especially if they’re competitive. Steady state cardio is the move kids.

Modern broadcasting is sick. The feigned emotion, feigned urgency is just sick.
