I bet she thought running was good for her too.

Looks good, but very low IQ. Normal people do not run marathons, completely pointless and destructive to your body. A hobby for the mentally challenged

That's horrible. I read she made it to the 24th mile, 2 miles before the finish. That's crazy.

Rhabdomyolysis (often called "rhabdo") is a serious, life-threatening medical condition that occurs when damaged skeletal muscle tissue breaks down rapidly and dies. As these muscle cells rupture, they leak their toxic internal contents—including electrolytes and a protein called myoglobin—directly into the bloodstream. When the kidneys try to filter out this massive influx of myoglobin, it can physically clog and damage their filtration system, potentially leading to permanent organ damage or fatal acute kidney failure.

RIP

I've heard bodybuilders warning of this. How much do you need to exercise for this to happen? How come David Goggins hasn't become a victim of this?

She ran herself into the ground like a Learjet.
