💪Humans are built for long-distance running, with physical adaptations such as wide shoulders, thin waist, and thin ankles that help us run efficiently.
🔥The ability of the human body to sustain long-distance running is a result of efficient energy production through processes like the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain.
👣The human foot, specifically the Achilles tendon, plays a crucial role in absorbing shock and storing kinetic energy during running.
🍽️Carbohydrate loading and replenishing glycogen stores are important strategies for marathon runners to maintain energy levels during the race.
🧠Running a marathon is not just a physical challenge but also a mental battle, requiring determination, focus, and willpower to push through fatigue and reach the finish line.
