Marathon runner dies after 21km

[Mivec9]

AFTER speeding through a 21km half marathon in 90 minutes, Captain Ho Si Qiu, 25, flew past the finish line - and collapsed soon after.

His heart had stopped.

 

this is the 2nd death in such event..the 1st was a triathete..

 

What could be happening??

[Newbiegetz]

speeding kills

[Mivec9]

90 minutes is rather fast

[Toyo]

he probably push himself too hard

[Mivec9]

and he is so young....at first i tot is some 30s or 40s regular...high chance is over-stress his body...same as the 1st case.

[Watwheels]

Wow. That's fast. He must have push himself too hard and died of exhaustion.

[Nus24]

21km in 90mins? WOW..that is REALLY fast..

Meaning to say if he is running 2.4km timings is only 10.28minutes.

Not many guys can even run the 2.4km in such timings...let alone he is doing the full 21km!

I feel sad that sucha young and healthy person leaves the world in such a unfortunate case.

Condolences to his family and friends.

recently the sun is too hot ..

Dan a lot of African marathon runners should be dead by now.

 

I think he lack the conditioning of his body to run such long distances within a short period of time. To run such long distance suddenly at one go his body cannot take it.

[Adwin]

Echoed your sentiments. If not, most marathon runners would have died. Probably he have not conditioned his body to run marathon distances although this is not a full marathon.

 

This sort of training takes at least half a year to prepare leh...

[Beei]

He exceed his body limit..

[Adwin]

Exactly.... that is why i said his preparation not enough...

 

Another young man bites the dust..

Could he be pushing himself for some rewards promised?

[Watwheels]

[Cheekg98]
