Could You Run a Marathon a Week? (One Woman Is Doing It For Cancer Research)

The irony of her decision is that such extreme running is likely to create a catabolic imbalance in her body. That type of imbalance promotes many diseases, including cancer.

Meanwhile, I've found a way that just might end cancer pain quickly for many people. I don't make a dime off of it. It costs practically nothing. We're still getting feedback on it to fine tune it.

You go girl!

I HAVE cancer, my running days are over. Bless her heart for doing this.

I can barely run a mile without dying....

if there is a WILL, there is a way...the HOPE is a great MOTIVATION...like if you will escape from a killer..you will find yourself doing the impossible and the unimaginable..
I think she WILL conquer the CANCER..but I am too old to do that..But may be..who knoew?

Can't even at all.

I can barely run a mile lol.

Not interested.

Dude, I can't even walk 100 feet without gasping for air...I'm so out of shape...


But I really admire this woman, that is completely awesome!

For this question, I will be visiting the people who commented in blue. Asking them to mow my lawn and take out the garbage when they run by.

...I couldn't even run ONE.
But she's impressive :)

I might be able to run a marathon in a week!

Seriously though... good luck to her. I am a cancer survivor and I lost my first wife to it so I know what a terrible disease it is. If her efforts can help with the research fundraising, awareness or anything then it will be worth it.

I better be able to since I'm a certified wild land fire fighter (red-carded). I think it's a good idea if I stay in shape for my health and safety.

I'd be dead about 2 miles into the first one. LOL

I couldnt run it in a year and then there had better be some beer at the end
But great for her hope she can either raise some money or bring more awareness

I completely support this woman and her cause. Here's a man acting like a seal.

No. I can't run.

Heck no, but I wish her luck

O hell no! I dont wanna destroy my knees...

But I am impressed by what she is doing and I wish her the best!

Absolutely incredible, well done to her.

But that would suck ass

Only if I prepared... If I did one now I would collapse at the 5 mile mark.

I could run a mile a week.

If you gave me 52 weeks and combined how much I ran each week, I could manage the equivalent of a marathon or two per year. I hope she doesn't wind up killing herself doing this.

Excess of anything is not healthy.

true.

I cant do it just like this but if it is for charity and specially for cancer then yes

Oh em gee that reminds me, i need to go enter a charity race...

not with the ondition i'm in rightn now but give me the fall and yea

Can I even run?

one foot at a time, hu?

I just noticed... I picked the wrong one... I meant no! XD

Running?
What is this madness?!
But seriously, she is something to be saluted. Turning something she loves to do into a help for others is amazing.
This is one of those things i wish i could do, and not only on a physical level, but how selfless she is. That's an amazing goal she has set for herself and she is an amazing woman!

I think that this is awesome and if Ii were in shape I just might try it. However, after knee surgery I think focusing on running one marathon is a good enough goal for me. :)

I think it's wonderful that she is doing it, however. I'd need a Segway to do it, however.

More power to her. She's doing a good thing. From her photo looks like she can take it too. I tried that running thing several times when I was younger, on and off, from about late twenties or early thirties to my mid forties. It was a great way to get in shape. Problem was, my body was not made for running anything longer than about 440 yards, or what's now 400 meters. In school I was very fast. At age 14 and 15 I could run a 22O in just under 22 seconds and a 440 in about 53 seconds. I was on the 400 and 880 relay team in track. Then I started gaining weight, and my body has never looked back. In all those years of running 5K and 10K distances my weight never went lower than about 185. Too heavy, way too heavy for running those distances, and now in my past mid fifties I'm paying the price. Arthritis in every load bearing joint, gout from toes to hands, and tendinitis, caused in large part to the abuse I heaped upon myself by running too far too hard, and by participating in other outdoor sport endeavors too enthusiastically, like water skiing. However I can't say that I totally regret it. Just let it be a warning to you youngsters. Know your limits. Don't push the envelope too hard because it will push back sooner or later.

There is no way I could do that and I admire her for that.

Could never handle that, but this woman is beyond admirable for what she is doing. She will undoubtedly help many people with her hard work.
