    I ran my first marathon yesterday. It was intense towards the end. But somehow I managed to finish. I am so glad I did not quit.
  • "your pulse might get as high as 140bpm or more". You guys haven't even seen my heart rate monitor levels after my marathon 😅😬🔥
  • The moment the narrator said 140bpm a minute the whole video went to shit even world class marathoners can't obtain that over such distances without considerably slowing their pace neither the narrator or the script writer runs

    0.5% of Americans will run a Marathon in their life. Wow. That's higher than I thought it would be.
  • I ran my first official route marathon.. It was a great achievement to finish in 4.26 mnts.. I did not quit

    Low blood sugar is dangerous, but burning fat for energy instead of sugar is not inherently a bad or dangerous thing. The Wall is uncomfortable and slow, but your body is always burning some fat, even when the main fuel source is glycogen. The sudden drop in energy output happens because you run out of sugar and must burn fat which requires a lower power, but even a person with a low-but-healthy body fat percentage has hundreds of thousands of calories worth of fat on board.

    The pain is almost comparable like heaving a kickboxing match where you gave a lot of lowkicks

    What happen if you do 100 push up 100 situps 100 squats 10km every single day for 3 years?

    I did a marathon, and I'm so happy. And everything you said is completely right, it's quite funny to think of.
  • Not sure what runner’s high is. I’ve never experienced it before even after running a marathon.

    I ran a half marathon several times I usually only have run for about a month before them....usually run about 10 min a mile. When i trained a few months I ran at about 8:30 min a mile but I could have run quicker I wasn't even sore after the race or the next day. A full would be a lot more work I think.

    I'm in great shape due to going to the gym. Why would anyone want to damage their body by over running.

    A piece of advice from a T&F and Cross Country long-distance runner. Know your limits and remember to ease into anything. You're not going anywhere with shin splints and injuries. Lol

    Nike! Yeah, what was his name Pheidippides? We could ask him. Too late. Grecko Persian war history is pretty interesting.
  • Congratulations! for your video, I was walking mixed by slow jogging 80 km per day for 60 days(Athens 15th international ultra marathon festival 2020 in age 64) I did 4750 kilometers! In total time 60 days, What do u think? Is that good?.😊😊.
