So maybe we can’t outrun cheetahs or antelope, but humans are uniquely adapted for long distance running. What does science have to say about marathon running? To find out, (and because I was feeling a little crazy) I decided to run one!
Here’s what I discovered about the science of long distance running

XD Joints are not shock absorbers, that's what your feet are for.
Small waist?? You lost me there
Humans are designed to run, not bodybuild
4:40 – 4:55 wasn’t this a video game? Or am I thinking of something else
Dude
I ran 3.29 on my second marathon!
Great job!
PB 3h00m
You did good timing 👍 an avg of 8:45 min pace?. I'm jealous
Run away before things get worse
Run away before hatred rolls👍👍
I'm pretty sure the 26.2 miles was standardized later and we don't actually know the exact distance that was run in the original Marathon field.
Wow, he broke 4 hours. That is great for his first marathon. I watched his baseball video about hitting a major-league fastball. He is a much better runner than he is a hitter.
runners cannot tap on their fat reserves? Well to be fair there is i think not much fat to burn in their body anyway.
Because that is how our body works, we tap to our fats once carbs are gone, fats could be converted to glycogen, does "carb loading" exist during our ancestor hunter gatherer time?
I love how these youtubers make it seem that they decided to run a marathon out of the blue and then ran an incredible time. But what they don't tell you is that they have been running for years and are super fit.
Great run! Congratulations!!
There is no historical account of Pheidippides dying after his run. That's a story that developed later. If we're doing science, we should get our historical facts straight.
In fact, there isn't even a historical account of the man running from the battle to Athens. The only account of Pheidippides run is to Sparta from Athens, a much farther, staged, journey of 280 miles. And no death from exhaustion there either.
Any message from the battle site at Marathon to Athens was likely sent by horseback since there was a good road there. Runners were used for paths difficult to navigate on horseback.
So, perpetuating this myth continues to encourage people to think these are near insurmountable distances. They aren't. Any well-trained individual can accomplish this feat and many run much farther. It is difficult but it will not kill you unless you are in very poor health or have extenuating circumstances. A Greek messenger, accustomed to running, would have had no problem running this distance.
Animal still beat human in marathon, they would run fast and rest, run again and rest
The actual distance from Marathon to Athens is closer to 25 miles. The marathon distance was lengthened to 26.2 miles in the 1908 London Olympics so the Queen and spectators could witness the finish inside a stadium.
Amazing video ❤️
The Wall, aka Fatigue, aka BONK
1:23 mmmmmm monnky boobs
Can a fat man run out of glycogen??
Sub four hour on a first attempt? Nice job
You could become fat adapted (eating human apropriet diet – google Brian Sanders – Food Lies) and then would not need carbs as much…
Running my first marathon tommorow. So excited!
"We have tall, thin bodies…"
What about the psychotic "fat pride" movement?😃
As I train for a half that I'm not even sure will happen, I was finding it hard to get out there today. I come to YouTube for motivation in times like these and this did the trick today, so thanks for your story.
