@@haz9808lol because I started my comment with "never underestimate". You know what really annoys me, replying to an old comment. If it's been longer than a week since the comment was made or the last reply to it. Just let it go. No one cares anymore.
You’re not lying 25 miles in under 5 hours. I workout and I would never but I’m not super into running without a purpose. I have to be playing a sport.
@@digolaverdad7313I’m 10 years older and 10-16 lbs heavier. Only time I’ve ran is when something really scary is chasing me. Guarantee I can average over 5mph for 5+ hours on flat ground.
@@20IA nah man, he said he can do a marathon under 5 hours with no training and it would be easy, which wasn’t the case at all. he needed to walk several times and seemed completely finished
Yes cuz this is some serious BS. For one he's physically fit anyway. And for two he looks like he's a runner. I will bet money that he had trained before he's run a marathon before. Cuz if you hadn't your ass be on the ground. You obviously seen that one with them little girls where they show them they're like college age I think. But they show them before and they're all smiling and happy and mind you these girls train that's all they do they're on the track team. And then they get to the ends in every single one of them girls is in tears and cannot breathe. And they train everyday before they run a marathon.
We’ve been duped everybody, this is actually a half marathon… The Richmond full marathon doesn’t use this sign and actually has a completely different logo. Look it up and see what the sign says at the end. He ran a half marathon without training and in 4:59 which makes sense, but not a full marathon.
Mentality at its hardest. Well done that guy, wasn’t easy but you did it. I myself used to run a lot, still reckon I could do a marathon but I wouldn’t dare say a time lol
@@dirtysouthpyro1981 so random, uncalled for and sexist even if that wasn’t the intention. I’m a man and I can say this comment was completely unnecessary
A wise man once said: " the training for a marathon is not so you can make it to the end, but so you do not suffer as much for the recuperation after."
No way a bodybuilder doesn’t get winded. Some of them never done cardio in their lives. Plus all that upper body strength and squat strength does nothing in running speed.
There is absolutely no way an untrained person can SIMPLY finish a marathon bro 💀 Edit: he's even got a good pace to start with, that's not an untrained person is capable of
@@internetcitizen3224 ITS NOT A MARATHON. THE MILE COUNT IS A LIE. Its a half-marathon and he did it in 5 hours which is pretty bad. Look at the finish-sign in the end of the video, for confirmation. He did only 13 miles. So funny how everybody gets fooled.
I honestly think everyone can do this. The trick is to run at a like 6:30-7:00/km pace and run with careful technique. When you take a step and the foot lands on the ground, make sure to bounce with it and be fluid in your movement. That way your muscles and joints don't get too much pressure on them. If you have the technique you can run a marathon after a year of sitting on the couch.
Honestly super impressive that he didn’t get hurt doing that off of no training, like 99% of people would have not been able to finish a marathon like that
Lo mismo pienso, muchas personas van sólo por una medalla o para decir que "terminaron una maratón", el tiempo lo dice todo, un tiempo nada respetable ni para un principiante
Not really. It’s the mental strength plus some knowledge about your physical body and stamina. He seems to be in good health with a good cardiovascular system. The only that could completely stop him was hydration which of course was not a problem. You will be surprised the endurance your body shows with mental strength. Also, any minor injury during the run will not cause any issue until after the end of the race. It’s body’s mechanism to keep going even when injured when it is in action. It’s a common phenomenon.
i mean yes really, if you arent trained for it theres a massive risk on injury to your legs and hips. all of the repeated impact on untrained legs is super bad@@Typlical_reality
If he truely did no training, then He is 110% going to have lasting injuries. Like plantar fasciitis, shin splints, knee pain, probably even hairline fractures in his feet. Training is what prevents those injuries from happening, so he’s fucked if the title is truthful.
It’s a half marathon. You can see in the finish line. Also hugely coincidental they have 13 miles as the last physical sign we see. And a half marathon is 13 miles
That’s what happens in a marathon. Runners want to maintain their current momentum because getting their momentum back up from stopping to throw something out requires more energy; they ultimately want to achieve the best time possible. Event organizers pay people to come collect the trash later.
@@GpL_2000 I totally understand, but personally I think it sets a bad example (people are dum6).... I've know quite a few people that were full blown litter bugs, you know what each and every one's reasoning was?.. "theres people who are paid/whose job it is to pick it up.".... again I understand tho... but you look at 10 miles of endless trash, and its hard to believe it all got picked up.
Even though he could have finished an hour or two faster if he’d trained, he saved even more time than that by not training. Great time management, Sir! 😅👊🏼
If he was into running and doing his first marathon, it would be fair to assume he could do it at around 4 hours, which is a great time for a beginner, anything under 4 hours is amazing, but finishing around 3 hours for a beginner is really hard, nearly impossible.
Dude you're flat out not smart at all....look at his physique....he's muscular, lean....that only happens from various levels of exercise....he may not run marathons but he could be a hard core basketball player, or soccer player, where there's hours of running....so it's obviously just a misleading video to get attention
It’s impressive but if want a really cool story look up David goggins prep for bad water. He is a navy seal who ran 101 miles in 19 hours with no preparation with less than 3 days notice and had fractured leg injuries trouble breathing and a ton of issues past mile 70 and may have experienced kidney failure after the race when he was peeing brown liquids
Key word RUNNING a marathon. I saw alot of jogging, walking, resting, and standing. Did not see any RUNNING at all. Anybody can jog walk 26.1 miles with no training.
I was a volunteer for a marathon every year in hs. We had to clean up, but there were multiple groups at each mile check point so it wasn’t that bad, but some years had awful weather which made us dread it.
went for a 50km walk/jog, no prep work middle of the hottest days of summer here in sweden (we have a few weeks that get up to texas temperature nowadays and have had those for the last couple of years) was completely fine day after. only access to water i had was the 2 times someone answered the door when i knocked and a brief stop at a lake to take a dive then back up. some people just built worse than others i guess
This is decent. But determination is really tested in a more threatening situation. Like fighting or climbing with no equipment(this is pretty dumb, but it's just an example)
Well that don’t make sense because he ran past a “13 miles” sign. In a half marathon there wouldn’t be a 13 miles sign. 13 miles would be the end of the race
@@kylelay6858nope, the Richmond full marathon doesn’t use this sign or this logo. We’ve been duped. You can tell by his speed and his continual pauses he did not and would not have a 5 hour pace at a full marathon.
26.219 MILES or 41,195 KM Sign said one thing but it also said almost 26Miles. So, it's a full marathon . Also, the time for a full marathon for an average non professional, is just under 5 hrs.
@@Dr.SpatulaAgreed. I don’t jog right now. Haven’t jogged as a regular thing since Highschool, if I joined a marathon and jogged for a mile, if I even could, I’d pass out. But after I’m done healing form some surgery I’m going to start jogging actually lol. Tired of being out of shape. Now you know everything about me!
@@thevolta89Right? I do a bit of cardio at the gym but a few years ago i used to run regularly and i tried that now, id be flat on my arse. However, stubbornness can keep you going.
To be fair he was in good shape; no soft crab lol core and legs was strong so his body would hold up if he could push through mentally. ✊🏽 solid brother
@@Huskke1 no if he gets regulaer cardio in and is reasonably fitness gym use ore physical job im 63 ran marathon its hard but yes a fit person could do it without training but i wouldn't recommend it
If you look really closely at the timer at the end it says 5:35... So 5 hours and 35 minutes. Missed it by 35 minutes but the uploader still wanted to claim he was able to do it in under 5 hours even though the time he got was still pretty impressive

I did this in 7th grade in a team of 4. I ended up being unable to run for weeks after. No bs I wasn’t just sore, I was partially paralyzed for all intents of purpose
@Kyra I was about to say this is a misleading video. No way he runs a marathon if his a couch potato. And he might not be a runner but based on experience you gotta have Damm strong legs to run a marathon no way a regular person runs a marathon without training
I ran the Honolulu marathon twice when I was in the military. First time i rolled out of bed after getting in 3 am from the club and finished in 5 hrs. Walked a lot of the way😂. I couldn’t walk down stairs for a week.
I just ran a marathon on my own in Florida before thanksgiving no training. I can relate to your story, I was hungover, woke up to drink more and decided to run a marathon in the same day because I felt like a piece of shit. I couldn’t walk without a limp the next day lol.
I already did that in 2013. I had subscribed for my first marathon when I was 39 years old, which was a youth dream of mine, but I wasn't motivated to train because of my intense allergic rhinitis attacks. I was only doing weight training, so to avoid having to quit and to minimize my risk of physical exhaustion, I decided to run up the stairs of my building after coming back from the gym, everyday, using that as a form of training. On the day of the race, I did very well until three-quarters of the way through, then I almost collapsed, feeling immense pain and fatigue. I wanted to quit, sit down, and cry, but I persisted and finished the race in 4 hours and 34 minutes. As I crossed the finish line, I had cramps in both legs. I was sore and walking awkwardly for a week.
Ultramarathoner here. Please don’t run long distance without training, folks. It’s a great way to injure yourself. Worst case scenario, it could lead to cardiac failure. I’ve seen it happen.
@@Kevinpbryant69999 13 miles is 20.9215 km. A half marathon is 21.0975 km. So it's quite close to the end and there isn't any other mile sign. If it was a full marathon, why wouldn't they show mile signs for the second half?
Respect! I did a full marathon with training, and always believed that if you had the right mental capacity it could be done without it. Awesome job!!!
@@henrycooper4213 Lol “walking speed” You can’t walk a marathon in 5hrs. You’re going to have to run a significant portion of the marathon to make it in 5hrs. I know from experience; I ran a marathon with zero training using the run/walk method and finished in 4hr 45 min. If I walked the whole time it easily would’ve taken 6+ hours
@@MassAmorphous that’s because you must be extremely unfit. I did did a half in 1 hr 40 min and didn’t run due to injury for the 5 weeks up to it. I did a marathon walk into the Yorkshire peaks 80% steep incline with a 20kg weight vest in just over 5 hrs. Anybody that isn’t an unfit beta male should be able to walk a marathon in 5 hrs.
My ex-mother-in-law would run marathons without any training in her 60s. Would take her nearly 8 hours and most of the workers had already left the course before she finished. I thought it would kill her, but she made it each time.
My father ran the Burning River 100 mile race in 28 hours as a bet from a friend. No training, 2 back surgeries and mid 40s. He then became one of the oldest guys to finish it 10 times in a row. He never trained and always finished around 28 hours and wanted to break 24. He always said and told everyone it’s almost all mental and staying engaged to not get bored because you find the pain. Also, every year while running through the night around 55 miles he began to be “stalked” by a squirrel. 😂

Ain't talking hate or anything just curious, I clocked in 357 miles within 3 months damn my knees and feet where screaming. Went to my personal athletic trainer and homeboy was like yeah do more of these stretches which worked and help but damn those first few weeks sucks until your body got use to it. Most days I'd clock over 35 a day
I ran the Long Island Marathon in 2005 without any training. The biggest mistake was not eating breakfast. I was starving. Stomach was growling for like the last ten miles.
Really no training? So you live a sedentary lifestyle no exercise sit at a desk job? And you ran a marathon? No regular activity that might have prepared your body enough to make it through 26.2 miles? If so congratulations you are a freak of nature and you should be studied, if however you did engage in enough regular activity that it allowed you to complete a marathon, then that’s the training, it may have been unintended but there it is.
yeah bro, it's how we're built! we basically spent all our physical evolution points to max out endurance (specifically our ability to sweat), which is why we can outrun every animal on the planet 10x over. you dont need skills, tools, luck. just start running. you'll eventually scare up some animals and then chase them until you catch up. and you will catch up. just dont stop. you'll get them every time. african tribes still hunt like this. they regularly run down gazelle and antelope. its a low skill, and extremely efficient method of hunting. something that fascinates me, because in all other ways humans are generally much weaker than other mammals, especially chimps. i guess you dont need to be strong when your prey is so tired it can't fight back. not trying to diminish your achievement, it's definitely something to be proud of. but that's why you could do it. its cuz you can sweat and obviously don't live a lifestyle that's completely antithetical to how humans are designed to live (i.e. you arent a fat ass)
My coworker and I did a half marathon no training. I can’t imagine the full. I know I couldn’t do one more step over what I did do. I had to get the wheelchair in Walmart afterwards to get some aspirin and Gatorade. 🤦🏽♀️
@@shenise1294 about a week. I think it was on a Friday. Saturday and Sunday I laid in bed all day. Well not really my daughter had a sleepover, they made me move around a little Monday I had to get up and walk around. I had chores and and I had to get ready for work on Tuesday. And I was stiff at work till Friday. But it was just sore mostly.
Doing a half marathon on Christmas as just a little fun. I've never done anything like it. But I leave for bootcamp in early January so I'm running a lot. Hoping for a sub 2:30.
this guy is a football player. i guarantee you he runs a lot, maybe not specifically for the marathon, but he's in above average shape. not that hard to believe that he did it.
