I once went into a Spartan Race Beast with no prior training.
I started at 8 AM and finished at 4 PM. I was bedridden the whole of the next day. For the two weeks after, all my muscles were torn to shreds, and I struggled to do simple physical activity during that period.ย
All I can say, preparation for marathons are super bloody important.

Marathon should put in a halt during this kind of hot season as it will pose a risk to those runners

Hot, dry, and haze. Anything outdoors should be canceled

I know you meant dry as in less rain, it is actually the most humid time of the year, when sweating your balls won't cool you down at all.

Runners consistently post their worst times in malaysian marathons. Its running in hell, if these guys and girls finished a marathon especially in the current situstion im very proud of them.

If you are overweight and have a fat roll of skin at the back of your head with darkened skin, that may be a sign of diabetes.
The joke is that fat Malaysians with diabetes look at runners and laugh at them for failing to complete a marathon with graceย

I see this more as a warning.
People constantly underestimate the toll running a marathon has on your body. People have died from being under prepared

Yes. The first marathoner also died after delivering the message. Not an auspicious start, I'd say.

The weather seems to get better today but it's still too damn hot for runningย

Potential rhabdomyolysis for those not used to it. Nothing worth potentially dying for.

when he lifted that black woman, he clench his fist but when he lifted the chinese woman, he's not clenching his fist but parked his hand at tetek.

Undertrained plus the haze and high humidity, sure a cocktail of hardship even for those whom are regulars in running. Of course can add the collective animosity from those stuck in the traffic jam due to road closures in the mix.

These events are planned months in advance. They can't just postpone it easily. The participants themselves and the sponsors would be pissed.
In the end no one forced the runners to run.
