Two young athletes died during this race. Now, what might have caused that? Take your best guess.

2 out of 17,500.

If 2 out of 17,500 people died each time you got into a car, the government would not allow cars.
 
The weather conditions were cool, so probably not heat exhaustion. Pretty unusual for two to die in the same race. I've run lots of marathons and sadly there were people who died, but not 2 in one race.

No idea, the cause, as the release simply says unrelated, not giving any details, a day later. I wouldn't do a 26.5-mile marathon, as I am pretty sure, I would die trying, at the age of 71. Back when I did run, The Army paid me to run. When they quit paying me (except for retirement pay), I quit running, no longer being paid to "set the example". May they rest in peace.
 
Since we don’t know what their respective causes of death were, this thread seeks only speculation.

People die every day in car crashes. Like on the order of 45,000 per year. That’s a lot of death per day on average. Like 120+.


Cars and driving cars are not outlawed
 
Youse have lost me !

Are ya saying they died of the same natural causes ?


a every day bike accident.webp

Post 3 gives a pretty good idea.

The jab was bad news, especially for athletes.

It's ok if you were fooled. I took the jab too, but no boosters. But as John Kruk said - I'm no athlete. :cool:

During the COVID pandemic, if a person had received the jab for a sniffle but then died in a car crash, it probably would have been labeled “a COVID related death” for purely statistical purposes, of course.

I’ll be giving mine away for free to all 8.5’s and better as long as I can make the ‘deposit’.

Hard to explain the allure of the marathon. I teased my Sister-in-Laws for running them until they got me to do one. It tests your limits, makes you manage yourself through training and especially race day. I'll probably remember that final turn to the finish in the Boston Marathon on my dying day.

Glad you enjoyed, but long distance running is inherently bad for you over time. I have seen one fall down dead, two hours after a run. I know several that have had to have knee and hip replacement. One of them, has had knee replacement twice and hip replacement once. When younger, I have run until I puked, and run until I passed out, then got up and ran more, of course, those were actually after having drank heavily, the night before. Still bad for you. Running is why some of the best knee and hip doctors are to be found in military and veterans hospitals.
 
In the 1970's an Army doctor called Kenneth Cooper created the phenomenon of "Aerobics," which was an exercise philosophy claiming that exercise that elevates your heart rate to an "aerobic range" for twenty minutes, three times per week was a formula for excellent cardio-vascular health.

As a result, millions of Americans took up running for its health benefits and as a masochistic "fun" thing to do. I also got caught up in this movement, running as Dr. Cooper advised for about 40 years.

Many people concluded that if running for 20 minutes was GOOD, then running for longer times and distances must be BETTER. 10k races exploded around the country, and marathons were soon to follow, and we are still "there" now, these many years later.

But a funny thing happened on the way to getting these wonderful health benefits. It's not actually all that good for you. There are real issues that result from the pounding of running on pavement for hours and hours, year after year. Your knees, hips, and feet are taking one hell of a beating that good running shoes cannot fully avoid. (My feet are my biggest problem now, at age 76). And it is now known not to be the best path to cardiovascular health. In fact, interval training is better and takes only a fraction of the time. But interval training takes real effort, unlike "jogging," which requires only as much effort as you feel like putting into it.

It is normal for a person or two to drop dead in the course of the mass marathons, which doesn't mean that the marathons are killing them, but rather than just because you can run until the cows come home doesn't necessarily prove that you are in great health (remember Jim Fixx?).

I have defaulted to a combination of interval training and long hikes on hilly terrain. I do six 90-second intervals on my stationary bike, separated by 90 second rest periods. My heart rate goes up to the max for my age after the last couple intervals. My heart is as strong as ever.

Distance running ain't what it's cracked up to be.

Probably side effect of getting COVID because they refused the vaccine.





















I actually have no idea I just said that because we all know that you are trying to imply it was vaccine related.

2 runners in the same marathon in the same cool weather. That's quite a coincidence.

It's a given that the media is still in the business of supporting Big Pharma and the Fauci Covid doctrine.

Which is all it is, but if you need to hang on to paranoid fantasies to keep your boring life interesting who am I to tell you no.

Hip arthritis stopped me from running more marathons. Did the training miles and marathons cause it? Maybe, but my brother who never ran more than 3 miles in his life has had both knees replaced and has arthritis in his back so bad he's shrunk 2 inches. And he's younger than me. I also know lots of other people who weren't runners or football players who have already had hip and knee replacements. A lot has to do with HOW you run. I would pass people at marathons who were so heavy on their feet I could hear their steps even though I was wearing headphones. Those people were certainly beating their knees to death.

Who knows? Arthritis can run in the genes, although constant pounding and injuries can also bring it on. My orthopedic surgeon told me, I would probably develop arthritis in my knee after the ski accident and him putting it back together by cutting out, harvesting and repurposing some of my own spare parts, I didn't know I had. But, I still have not developed it, and am now 71. I did the running thing, in the Army as I was expected to, and acted gung-ho about it. But, I knew it sucked. It pounds your feet, knees and hips repeatedly, even if not overweight, and sometimes doing it in jump boots certainly didn't help. But, I did it, and maintained a high pt score throughout, insisting others maintained high pt scores, up until I retired. But, that is one of the things, I was paid to do. Now, I bike, hike, swim, snow ski and Kayak (including white water and long distance kayaking) but everything is low impact. Well, except for the skiing, which is actually low impact, up until I screw up again. You are correct, some people do not run correctly, wear wrong shoes, overpush limits, all of which can and do cause long term damage, which often comes back to haunt at older age.
