DETROIT – Family and friends of three half-marathoners who died during the Detroit marathon say the runners had trained for the race and were unsure what could have caused the deaths.
Autopsies are scheduled for Monday.
Officials say 36-year-old Daniel Langdon collapsed at about 9:02 a.m. Sunday between the 11- and 12-mile markers and 65-year-old Rick Brown collapsed at 9:17 a.m., near where Langdon went down.
Officials say 26-year-old Jon Fenlon collapsed at about 9:18 a.m., just after finishing the 13.1-mile half-marathon in 1:53:37.
Laura Fenlon tells The Detroit News her son had always been an athlete and she did not know of any medical problems he may have had.
The deaths mark the first fatalities at the Detroit Free Press Marathon since one runner died in 1994.

quote for truth
Fit doesn't mean healty

Despite millions of people running marathons every year, three deaths = marathon runners are not fit. Brilliant logic.

My guess is that most marathon runners are healthier than 99% of Getbiggers.

I used to jog long distance as a hobby before i turned to weights and stopped the running. I must admit, it was nice to run outside in scenic areas.. felt like i had alot of freedom since aslong as i took somthing to drink/eat i could jog without stopping for hours.
Now i can probably jog 20 mins then collapse Lol.

I think the FDA should ban marathons, way too dangerous.

Dont worry about it - the only thing that counts in life is that you look better then 90% of all humans in a thong :D

See? It's tragedies like this that scare me straight. I just say no to running.
/hell, i say no anything high impact 8)

If you wanna aim for fitness and optimal reward from your workouts, marathons is not the way to go. Way too stressful for the body.
-
The problem with marathons is they are long.
Takes over two hours for the top elite marathon runners in the world.
-
were they white? you never see them bare foot Kenyans dropping dead.

Starky--don't you mean "oiled up and in a glittery thong?"

The whole idea is to get big enough that you don't have to run from anything/anybody. Marathon runners are twinks.

jogging is terrible for the skin. Most joggers are vey saggy and wrinkled.

My friend was there watching and apparently one of them spontaneously combusted....

They knew the risks.

Probably a sniper hiding in a boot of a car somewhere again picking off runners ;D.

It's not their skin...it's their wasted muscle UNDER the skin that lends to the skinny/fat look they have...

Exactly. If we were meant to run, it would be fun to do. It's not and only homos and chicks think it is.

All Pheidippides.........
you should only run 26 miles because you HAVE to......not because you WANT to.
(still looking for a reason why you would have to in 2009)

it need not be unhealthy.
These 3 deaths are a numbers game. Big marathon event, tens of thousands of athletes. Every year otherwise healthy (often young!) men drop dead, on the soccer field, in a skiff etc. A bad year means a number will die during a big event, one or two deaths are very common. There's a small percentage of people that have an undetected congenital heart anomaly that can lead to sudden death.

interesting..but why would their muscle waste and why doesnt the skin shrink to it as it does when anyone loses mass?
-
The very first marathon runner dropped dead after he ran 26 miles and delivered his message. Shows you how healthy marathons are. :)

Why were all their sneakers missing when the ambulance got there?
