Mad respect for work in the iron man,  but this happening in a 3200 meters, or a 5k?  Did they just not know how to pace themselves, or train?

Its a state meet so I am guessing she went balls to the wall, also its either the chick that fell or carried the person won the 1500 earlier.

yeah bonking sucks but it really shouldn't happen in the 3000 meter.

when you're that young you should have a shit ton of energy. the fact she bonked on a barely 2 mile race shows that she probably had other health problems

well... I'm not sure how fast she was going, but if you're going hard it can definitely happen. In high school on of the kids on my 4x400 collapsed, he just ran himself into the ground.

dont forget that she was second to last. "balls to the walls" sounds kinda weird. if youre so tough with yourself to run yourself into a coma while trying to preserve the second to last place, youre a tool.

everyday, amateurs and even (semi-)pros die all over the world because they dont know their bodies and push themselves too hard.

i bet the other chick wouldnt feel like she saved a polar bear if the girl completely collapsed and died on the spot. maybe a little exaggerated, but you gotta take care of your bodies guys, you only have one. like wearing a helmet in skiing, dont be dumb.

When you go all out in a race, whether its a 1600 or a marathon, you should always feel like you're going to collapse at the end. If you dont you didn't try hard enough

180 to 185 lb here. I try and run several times a week, with one day having an hour run in it. Most days it is 2-3.5 miles though. Once you get up there in weight, the impact on your knees and legs gets pretty high.

yeah how about no, the difference between jogging 2 miles and running a 3200 is insane. the 3200 is hard on every aspect of you, physically and mentally.

according to a german wiki article not available in english, the incidence is 0.5-2 per 100,000 athletes.

france, a pretty legit first-world country is explicitly mentioned with 1,000-2,000 deaths PER YEAR. thats just in france between 3 and 6 athletes A DAY. the risk for active people to die due to a sudden cardiac arrest is also 2.5 times higher than non-athletes.


the sources down there look pretty decent.

related english article, the above german wiki article covers explicitly sports-related sudden cardiac deaths

true, but if you are in states for a race, I would think you would be able to pace yourself appropriately to be able to finish. I take back saying it was sad though.

Yup. Most of my cardio is either rowing, elliptical or bike, or even stairs, at least you don't have all that impact over and over again. Right now I have no ACL so it's even worse. Avoid wherever possible.

I really don't find running to be great cardio in any event. For sprints and intervals, rowing is pretty unbeatable. For endurance, stairs is great, and given what it does for your calves is probably the way to go for skiing purposes. Maybe that's personal preference.

Just over 200. I'm training for a 8 mile Spartan race. I've been running a couple times a week and it's been fine now that I've gotten back into the swing of it.

It definitely sucks being bigger, although I am in general stronger than my skinny friends, so I can sprint anaerobically for days. I just keel over when I'm done.

Its crazy this video has gone viral. Instead of finishing second to last, the girl chose to finish last and carried the girl. Its not like she was in first or gave up anything to do it. I don't understand how people view this as heroic/inspirational.

Jeez lady if you feel that bad just pull out.. runners do it all the time in track, why would you risk an injury that can seriously mess you up just to finish a race?

Here here. As a 250ish guy, I will never win any races. That being said, I try to do some 400/800 meter intervals once or twice a week as well as a 5k trail run. My knees have never given me any trouble though. I've been rocking my Vibram Fivefingers (minimalist shoe) for my running and I think it's helped me to run smoother than my old Asics.

In any case, I'd rather lift heavy stuff than run fast.

ya, all those who don't run thought this was really inspirational and other lame shit, those who run realized she quit.

I mean fuck, two miles is not that far, and yes I have run it for time, and no, no one cares if you can run a sub 11 min 2 mile, unless you can also bench 1.25x your body weight.

running sucks. it's not a sport. it's a punishment. what happens when you're late to practice? start running laps. If i never had to run again it would be too soon. (half way kidding on it not being a sport. no need to get your panties in a bunch.)

Ya, it fucking hurt though I devoted over 2 months to endurance sprints every day to get there. My Squat dropped from 400 to below 350 during that time.

In my states meet last week, two girls running 400 were seeded 1 and 2 so they both killed it in the first 200 trying to beat each other and ran out by the end, resulting in them tripping over each other and falling over the finish. They both got the exact same time FAT too, which kinda made me chuckle.

Yeah, I feel you I also run track. It's easy for me to say she should of pulled out, but if I were her I would of also tried to finish it, so I see where you're coming from. Espically in such an important meet such as states, regionals, etc ect

not saying I'm the fastest by any stretch, but when I feel like I'm going to collapse from running I just turn it to mental and power through it. Hell after a 60 min rugby game playing full out I just go home and sleep.
