   Based on what I have heard in the television, exercise should be done in 30 minutes and if you go beyond that its considered unhealthy because of rapid heart rate, hyperventilation, and excessive loss of body fluids.

   On my opinion I consider it healthy if you do enough preparation for your run like you practice running pre-marathon, complete stretching of the legs, having enough sleep, well balanced meal and keeping yourself hydrated at all times.

   Unhealthy if you just want to try it because its "uso" nowadays without having enough preparation.

   What is your opinion guys?

   In this day and age, there is a lot of revisionist sources in almost any field.

   I am not a fitness expert but I wonder what is the basis of that television spot you mentioned, so I agree with you that marathon can be part of a healthy lifestyle.

   And I cannot think of a major sports / game where physical exertion is less than 30 minutes... whether its basketball, volleyball, badminton, swimming, biking.... even a stroll in the mall takes more than 30 minutes...I concur with you that it is all about preparation.

   I just read a somewhat similar article in Runner's World about the death of two Marathoner's just recently at or near the finish line. Was quite interesting but I think the pros outweighs the cons.

   actually isang cardiologist ang nagsabi sa isang interview and he mentioned that doing marathon is unhealthy dahil abuse ang mga muscles. nakalimutan ko lng kung anong show yun basta ang host si bro.eddie

   like @Bayrunner, i'm not a certified fitness expert or whatsoever, i'll just give my opinion based on experience and what i've learned so far...
   kung ang tanong is running the marathon itself, technically it's unhealthy in a sense na you're breaking down your body, thus, tilting the metabolic balance in favor of catabolism(breaking down of tissues).

   given that, i think there is a certain limit of full mary's that one can participate in a given period of time.. say, once a quarter?(im not sure, havent had a FM yet)

   however, the healthy part is actually in the preparation part of a marathon.
   you discipline yourself in training, you exercise regularly to strengthen your body, you feed yourself with foods of high quality nutrition, etc...
   this, i think outweighs the breakng down done by the actual marathon run. of corse, proper nutrition and stretching exercise is also required after the run itself.

   another thing is that we shouldnt confuse marathon with running. generally, runnng is healthy... running a marathon requires optimum health level to be able to endure it. running is a lifestyle, and for some, a hobby. a marathon is just one event of this lifestyle and i guess, should not be a hobby :))

   that's the reason why I am not to keen doing any FM soon .... eh ngayon pa lang, the Kalayaan fly-over is not healthy for me, full Mary pa ha ha ha ....

   very nice input again from you....see you and the rest of the Team at Milo
   (chickened out ako QCIM and opted to run sa Animo.... I read from the PF Forum kasi that the Commonwealth Avenue eh medyo pa-uphill, meaning, gradual ang pag-elevate nito...? Hindi halata but you would just feel masakit na legs mo? Like that portion of BGC (I cant recall the street) that is a looong stretch at the end is the usual turn-around pabalik sa 32nd street? Parang ganun daw ang Commonwealth? Eh hindi healthy sa legs ko iyon... :) see you guys on the road...! :)

   yes i already read that also...we don't know pa what the real cause but heart attack daw and hindi nabanggit kung talagang may heart problem... halos lahat naman ng endurance sport is delikado but with proper training and marunong tayo basahin yung body natin kung hindi na natin kaya stop na tayo... condolence sa two fellow runners natin...

   yun yung papunta ng lawton ave if im not mistaken, usually around 19km-20km of the usual runrio HM route :) very challenging nga saken din to kasi dito din talaga ko nagbabagal ;) yep sir, see you on the road! team run daw ulit sa bull run ;)

   @limitEDrunner yeah, i agree.. endurance test talaga ang marathon at hindi biro, regardless kung mabilis o mabagal pacing, its still 42km!!! kaya ensure proper training and prepare for extreme conditions like fatigue, dehydration, overheat, etc...

    I think this is a very good topic, and everyone brought up lots of valid points such as training and listening to your body.

    For me, endurance sports be it's triathlon or running requires a lot of discipline and strict training of our mind and our body.

    So for anyone who would like to get into running or any endurance sports either as a new form lifestyle, fulfilling a bucket list, or discovering our inner athlete, it is always best to consult a medical professional or a physician before training.

    just heard of the "x-spot", that point where the runner already sees the "finish line", where one tends to sprint towards the latter. this was related to the 2 recent deaths of a marathon abroad.

    i just had my first fm last sept. though i am a usual "x-spot sprinter", i was not able to do so coz i was already totally drained and exhausted, just happy to see the "finish line".

    for me, this is a wake-up call though... the "x-spot" i mean.

    running is unhealthy and running a full marathon is very unhealthy for smokers, drunkards and drug addicts.

    a full marathon is 42+k and running it without much preparation is unhealthy and could kill you. that is why preparation should be physical and mental as well as emotional.
