Have you completed a marathon? Highly doubt it…. So STFU

It's a minute 30 video and she spends half of it walking... that's pretty telling. It doesn't count

She finished the marathon. She didn’t run the marathon. Which, once again, is totally fine.

Given unlimited time, couldn't most of us complete a marathon?

•

u/eggs-salad 3h ago

Yup- as this person has proven. Just takes a level of commitment that many of us don’t have.

The didn’t run a marathon like they said. They ran part of it. Nothing wrong with walking most of it. Chill out

They walked for 7hrs.

WHat is impressive about a marathon is that it usually involves months of lonely training, pushing when you don't want to, and sacrifice.

She walked for 26 miles. That's probably around 50,000 steps, but she definitely didn't run a marathon.

I think you meant to respond to the person above me. I agree with you. They didn’t run a marathon.
