adhd is so funny I just saw some dude online complain abt how hard marathons are and now I’m like ‘well it’s like 40 kilometres that’s not that far’ and now I’m planning my running training regimen to beat his time. i hate running btw.

[tame-a-messenger]

Since these marathons happened before, how long are they gonna last? Respectfully I’m tired of them

To be totally honest, I have no idea.

@lilac-hecox said they do it every year for the first week, but it’s been a little longer than a week atp.

We could be getting a Games livestream tomorrow, or maybe a new video Friday, but again totally not sure.

On Trevor’s Smosh Mouth ep they talked about upcoming videos so I think we’ll be back to normal uploads soon 🤞

Boston and New York are known as the hilly World Marathon Majors, yet this course features nearly twice as much climbing as either of them. The biggest hill in NYC, the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge at the very start of the race, climbs 160 feet in one mile. The big hill in Paris climbs 511 feet.

The hilliest part of the Boston course, the 1.5-mile stretch between 19.25 and 20.75 miles, rises approximately 150 feet. The biggest hill in Paris climbs more than three times that much. If you compare the Paris hill just to Heartbeak Hill (roughly 20.25 to 20.75 miles in Boston), it’s the height of 6.2 of those.

 “Honestly I don’t think they’ll run faster than 8:00 on that mile [in the women’s race], even at the front…[The hills are] gonna make the race, for sure. 

We’re not sure if Olympic organizers are going to give mile-by-mile splits, but if they do take a look at the 20th mile. Between mile 19 and 20 (30.57 km to 32.18 km), the course drops roughly 100 meters. That is 328 feet, which would be worth nearly a minute according to JK. So theoretically, a sub-4:00 mile would be possible although we think the runners will have to be putting the brakes on to not destroy their quads since it’s greater than a 6 percent downhill grade. 

Kipchoge also has no history of success on hilly courses. He has only run one — Boston in 2023 — and it did not go well. At the time, Kipchoge said he did not adjust his training at all to account for Boston’s unique course, instead relying on the playbook that had brought him so many marathon victories in the past. Kipchoge wound up 6th after getting broken in the Newton Hills.

With a victory in Paris, Kipchoge would make all sorts of history. He’d be the first person to win three Olympic marathon titles and, at 39, he’d be the oldest person to win Olympic gold in any running event. He’d also accomplish the one thing he has not been able to so far in his decorated career: win on a hilly course.

Just an introductory post. I’m Mary and I’m a painter and a runner. I will post about my art, running, nutrition, and my dog. This year I am running 13 half marathons.

first snag in my disney theatrical animated features (according to wikipedia) marathon

i cannot seem to find a way to watch “so dear to my heart”

there’s a copy of “song of the south” on my beloved pirate site, and i can find “the ugliest dachshund” and “the happiest millionaire”, but “so dear to my heart”? nope

but can’t you watch that movie legally by renting or buying in places

DISNEY ISN’T GETTING MY MONEY FOR AN ARBITRARY MARATHON I NEED TO COMPLETE BY WATCHING A FILM ABOUT A KID RAISING A LAMB

The absolute happy dance when setting up my playlist for the marathon tomorrow and discovering that the Tron Lightcycle Run music is indeed on Spotify.

I personally like to imagine that ghosts are real purely so Pheidippides just gets eternally dunked on at every marathon ever held

I Found Myself in 2014.

I have always been this happy-go-lucky person ever since I have explored and understood myself. In fact, after moving to Bangalore in 2014, I have discovered a new version of me. Back in Calcutta, I was kind of shy and didn’t really have any courage to strike up a conversation even with myself. Well, there were many obstacles in my mind – My weight, my acne face, tall but slouched stature, low…

Paris marathon.

If the goal was to go from the green flag (Champs Élysée) to the red flag (Avenue Foch) more than 52,000 participants (57,599 registered) took the wrong way and run 42.195kms instead of the barely 2kms needed to join the Point A (aka Departure) and Point B (aka Arrival). Just saying ;-)

NB: It’s the marathon with the second-most finishers in the world, behind the New York City Marathon.

What's worse is now there are ULTRA marathons: anything over 26.2 miles. I heard of a 100 mile ultra marathon.

Mega flex on the first marathon guy...
