Three die in Detroit half-marathon
« on: October 19, 2009, 07:55:28 AM »
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.

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.

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.

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.
