"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.

    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.
