Detroit Marathon: 3 die

[100m001]

Most issues like this are due to lack of preparation and/or OVER-hydration. Some people are very naive when it comes to these long endurance races and they think just because they jog a little bit here and there and have a subscription to runners world they are qualified to run 26.2 miles. Additionally there was an article not too long back in runners world called something like “8 Weeks to your first ultra-marathon”, absolute stupidity.

Yes, it is stupid, but the stupidity constantly gets promoted because a few people at the top make lots of money on entry fees and cancer/aids “research” marathons.
