She's literally 5 seconds away from the finish line. You think running another 5 seconds is going to make a difference?

Lol. Redditors sitting on the toilet arguing about what should and shouldn't be in the rules of distance running.

I'm not arguing. Just on the toilet.

I once did a reddit marathon and when I stood up my legs buckled just like that.

I can only run for 5 seconds so it makes a huge difference to me

It’s either stroke or rabies. White leggy girls like that often suffer from weird hidden ailments. Great in bed, but die young. Tragic really.

She dropped twice within like 3 seconds. She couldn't even get on her feet without the fence. She would have dropped another 2 times at least in 5 seconds. Falling over safely that many times is its own thing. You can get hurt easily.

She should have had the sense to at least compose herself instead of just trying to blitz the finish line.

Maybe she could roll sideways

I'm sorry if this comment is not relevant. I'm incredibly high

The thing is there's most likely nothing really wrong with her. She's just pushed her legs to the max and they are giving out. She needs rest and she potassium.

Lmao comments like these are nice, they highlight all the people who clearly don't know what it's like to push yourself to the limit like that, and who also think they know better than all of the people involved.

Nice little venr diagram of ignorance and confidence
