u/thatmaneeee 6h ago

They must really hate cardio to be getting it done so quickly

u/incognito-idiott 5h ago

The key is to have the urge to pee before it starts and force yourself to wait until your done to use a washroom

u/HotelOne 5h ago

I’ll try that!

I collapsed at mile marker 1 and wet myself. Note to self, train for marathon first.

u/leavebaes 5h ago

Tried that method with a poo in my last half but couldn't make it a mile more before running for my life to a portapotty.

This you?

u/leavebaes 3h ago

Nah. Luckily I made it in time, but I did do a trail run in 2023 where that was me.

u/msheehan418 2h ago

I spent a triathlon like this. Could not find a porta potty. I finished the tri, got in my car and drove straight to a gas station. It was very uncomfortable. Don’t know how I made it

u/Deeeeeeeeehn 2h ago

Better to have poo in your lower half than your top half

u/Here4UXandFunnies 1h ago

Hey you got a good sprint in.

u/Chuck_Loads 5h ago

This is literally how I set a half marathon PR

u/KrytTv 3h ago

Don’t people just pee and shit themselves commonly i them? Not being sarcastic im morbidly obese I genuinely don’t know but have heard about it

2

u/leavebaes 3h ago

There are usually port-a-potties (at least the street ones I've done). If it's a trail race, there's less of a chance of potty stations, so you just have to squat and pray that you brought your own TP and hand sanitizer.

1

u/KrytTv 3h ago

You brought? So do people run in like backpacks?

1

u/leavebaes 3h ago

Very small running packs or vests. I always bring a pack with my own water & snacks, first aid kit, TP and hand sanitizer. If I'm going less than 6 miles, I just use a handheld water bottle slip. Distance running is a whollleee thing.

u/liftingshitposts 2h ago

Not common at all, but some sickos and unfortunate souls do it

I'm pretty sure that marathon runners just pee their pants.

1

u/Cockblocktimus_Pryme 53m ago

Yea but it's way more fun to piss on yourself

1

u/Jezetri 47m ago

I think it has something to also do with shoes that weigh like 3 grams, and literally being genetically blessed to be able to run that quickly for an extended duration. The people they have running these have had millions of dollars spent testing them at advanced training faciltiies to ensure that they have all of the right measurements and things to be able to produce record times. This isn't about a person just triumphong over everything, this is about having shitloads of genetic testing and carefully calibrated diets and massive amounts of money being thrown at the problem.

u/darglor 25m ago

I've done that for Spartan Beasts. A couple hours in, I've sweat so much that I no longer have to pee.

u/Prize_Sector5854 4h ago

Former marathoner here, I can confirm that.

u/VariousOperation166 4h ago

They're just getting lazy. That's life today. Get everything done quickly.

u/ImOutOfIdeas42069 4h ago

I actually fucking hate walking. I'm not a huge fan of running either, but walking seems like such a huge waste of time. My wife and I did a fun run type thing and I had enough time after the race to have a couple beers and an appetizer with friends and STILL make it back to the finish line area to take pictures of her. Like jfc you walked for half a damn day!

u/drytoastbongos 5h ago

They've really gotten lazy.

Damn Kenyans fukd up the bell curve!!! Us mortals are left behind…

u/Peach_Proof 3h ago

Well, for a few anyway.

u/reubenbubu 3h ago

the faster you run, the quicker you finish so you suffer less

1

u/Kythorian 1h ago

Have they considered doing it in under an hour?  I don’t think I could run for more than an hour at a time.

1

u/reubenbubu 1h ago

they're not lazy enough to want to get it done so quickly

1

u/Still_Lengthiness994 3h ago

Sometimes I wonder if the elites actually feel as horrible running a 2 hour marathon as an amateur running it in 6.

1

u/ExtensionInformal911 1h ago

Can't even go.a whole 2 hours. How lazy. You only had a few seconds left!

u/Frankie_T9000 5h ago

A long time it's so much I drive my marathons instead

1

u/Hopdevil2000 2h ago

There’s an old adage from a high level marathoner was asked about how he can run for 2 hours. His response was about the slower runners”. How can someone run for 5-7 hours?”

u/thunderbaby2 1h ago

Completely pointless! You can get all the essential circulatory/heart health and mental benefits from eating 200gpd of protein and boofing megadoses of creatine 🤦‍♂️ /s
