Too many people "run" marathons and think finishing them is some sort of super human feat. It's not. Most are overweight and shouldn't be running anyway. If that many overweight people can finish a marathon, why do people consider it impressive? I could literally finish faster than most of them at a walking pace. Not impressive.

Even walking 26 miles is really hard and impressive. It's, like, halfway to space, though admittedly not as vertical.
