"Influencer"... How much of this was because of unhealthy expectations for "popular" or "likeable" people? She doesn't look like a healthy runner to me. She looks like a twig of a, "popular" person. Shame on anyone who expects noteworthy performance out of anyone who isn't already a world-class athlete.
Anyone familiar with modern biology knows constant stressors and constant exertion is a recipe for death. Social media does not. Social media never does.
Never let randos determine how hard to push yourself. Ever.
Honestly, runners often get a bit of a crypt keeper look, doesn't mean she wasn't healthy. By all indications she was a successful runner and was in shape.
The article mentions she previously won an amateur marathon event. She likely over-extended herself due to being competitive in nature. We assume as there’s no cause of death yet. Which checks out with someone who consistently ran for two hours a day alongside her lab work. She seems like a particularly committed and focused individual. A lot of long distance runners are lean. Would be curious to see if you’d comment on the appearance and motivations of this individual if they were male.
lol no. My commentary wasn't on her being lean. It was on her being obviously incapable of finishing a marathon.
The fact you clowns pretend a marathon isn't a great human feat tells me you all are disconnected fucking clowns, not fans of human accomplishment.
There's a FUCKING REASON "marathons" have become a thing throughout THOUSANDS OF YEARS of history... yet you're still too dumb to acknowledge it.
I don't care to diminish her accomplishments, but human performance has been a LONG ESTABLISHED category of what humans are capable of...
The fact you are too stupid to understand even the reality in which you exist is not my problem. You all are genuinely lost to the wind.
You sound like a lazy sack of shit that has never exercised.
Sincerely, someone who has run a marathon.
Woo boy, that’s a lot of insults and personal attacks in response to some mild criticism.
My implications was that your commentary was based on her being a woman and having a social media presence (influencer) while ignoring that she had won marathons previously and obviously has trained a lot for them. You commented that she didn’t look healthy and like a twig, aka lean. While asserting she competed (and subsequently passed away) at the behest of “randoms online”. As I already pointed out, she’s won said marathons before. Your above quote also contradicts:
Anyway, given your unhinged response it probably isn’t worth continuing to discuss with you.
What does her gender have to do with anything?
Any gender can be a twig
Factually wrong. Literally. Distinctly. Ignoring biology only makes you a more pathetic target of justifiable judgement... you are the moron incapable of understanding how shit life is for most...
I am?
Are you accusing that person of beliefs that I hold? You are merely proving how pathetic your ability is to identify anything that doesn't agree with you... you are a pathetic worm unable to understand the world in which you wriggle your ignorance about...
I replied highlighting the relevant parts of the conversation that answered their question. What were you saying about others inability to identify things that don’t agree with them?
