>>2635519I think you underestimate how sedentary and fat society has become. and no, most of these people aren't fitfat or bear modes etc. while they should be able to do 20km mild walk it absolutely possible for them to whine and suffer stress. as it it even might be an unusual movement pattern and cause stuff like shin splints or whatever.
the point with the marathon was that you can be fit in sport A and suck in sport B. And that local anecdotes should be disregarded just as well as age, as these are outliers.
