What's the average age of a marathon runner?
My guess is late 30's, I could be way off though. I'm just takin' a stab in the dark.
Average age of snowboarders, I'd say late teens early 20's.

Again, I'm not sayin' this is correct. That's just my guess.

A marathon is not extreme, there is no risk of losing your life. Difficult sure.
One wrong split second decision while running a marathon, will not result in death.

I don't believe there are any split second decisions that need to be made whilst running on a set course, unless taking the wrong way down a fork in the road causes a disqualification.

I watched a show about wolves vs big cats, I can't remember the exact cat they were talking about but anyway.
Cats can jump incredibly high because they have muscle structure built for explosive instant power, because of that they can't maintain that explosive power for more than a short time.

Wolves on the other hand, have similar muscle structure to humans.
They don't have that explosive power, neither do we. They are built for the long haul & can run for hours chasing something down. A cat could never do that, wolves have way more endurance than cats.
We can't jump 15 feet into the air, but we can run for great distances.

For the record, soccer isn't gay. I like soccer.
I love football, played till I was 21. It's the best team sport in the world, imo.
If you viciously tackled a pedestrian on the street, you'd likely go to jail.
Because they would be FUCKED UP, it is a violent game, meant for real men.
I can't think of many sports where a broken limb just requires a cast but you still play with a broken limb.

I can't believe that came out of your mouth. If it ain't a mans sport, could you please tell me which sport is manlier?
NFL Hardest Hits of All Time - YouTube
Go to a high school football game & say that. They aren't even men yet.
I doubt you make it out of there alive.

You clearly have no idea the strain a marathon puts on your body....

"is open to all competitors" as participants do not have to have a qualifying time to enter.

They may have been way out of their element & should never have entered?
I don't know, there could be other factors as well?

You could do the same run on a treadmill, with the same consequences.
Does that make you an EXTREME athlete?

Way more people die of heart attacks while golfing than in marathons.'
Are they extreme athletes?
