I was watching the olympics last night and that 36 year old lady ran a 26 mile marathon. She was amazing and she one 1rst. Her stomach was nasty but people please help. how do they do this?

Answer 1

They work at it, hard. Diet, exercise, run, run, run.  Start small and work yourself up.  Don't try to run a marathon tomorrow, but work and hard and perhaps it will happen some day.

They have a lot of endurance and stamina, which they built up from most-likely running at least 30 miles per week.
