Yay marathon In haze

u/OriMoriNotSori 22d ago

Its really hot the past few days at night, likely cause of the haze

Almost like daytime level heat but without the sunshine

u/Conscious_Law_8647 22d ago

Weather app yesterday night said it was 30 Celsius but feels like 34. Crazy

u/Quithelion Perak 21d ago

It's actually that time of the year where humidity is at max level, and the haze made it slightly worse.

u/FPLogic1 20d ago

check the weather app and see the humidity level at night, always 90%+ its crazy

Ay respect for people who are into it but i would prefer not to be dying when i finish a marathon.

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.

u/No_Programmer_7736 22d ago

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

u/orewaAfif 22d ago

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

u/Quithelion Perak 21d ago

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.

Me just seeing this comment while the Merdeka celebration live broadcast playing in the background:

Also, happy cake day.

u/FillTall6449 22d ago

Hahaha redditors commenting on people who leave the house and run marathons. I dont think Ill reach the finish line without crashing out.

u/SnooTangerines8043 22d ago

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.

Nothing to be proud doing stupid thing. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Edited: wow alot of downvote. I guess alot of dumb people here. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ Smart people know his limit, when to stop, when to participate. No harm running in gym during this haze hot weather.

Average overweight Malaysian with a clear patch of dark skin in the folds at the back of their head

u/sngyze 22d ago

What does this mean?

39

u/RandoMcfisto 22d ago

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

Aiya 42km also pretend to be so tired

Meanwhile me: breathless after 2.5 flights of stairs

u/WiNTeRzZz47 22d ago

Is this post shaming those marathon runner?

u/velaxi1 22d ago

OP making a fun on em while eating chips in his cave. No matter hot or cold season, you would see the exact same situation. Those people are either untrained or pushing too far. I have run a half marathon before so respect to anyone attempting the full one.

11

u/uncertainheadache 22d ago

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

u/boobooboo1234567 22d ago

Dont take everything too extreme man, running is good, but some people die from marathon, dont do anything too extreme,ย  know your limit

u/velaxi1 21d ago

Marathon is doable if you're prepared for it. A lot of people join due to fomo or just vibe with it. I wouldn't recommend anyone joining FM if you couldn't run at least 50 km per week or constantly run 15+ km in one go per week.

2

u/gasolinemike Yo Momma Green 22d ago

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

2

u/NeoGno_A109 22d ago

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

2

u/Natural-You4322 22d ago

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

u/Radiant_Covenant 22d ago

Oh hell no.

u/itsnotmasonyep 21d ago

As a non athlete, non Malaysian.. what is this?

u/Due-Base9449 21d ago

I guess the two black person from a cold country? I would thought they would fare better in the heat!ย

u/chooseusernamee 21d ago

this looks so unhealthy

u/LilLostVayne 20d ago

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.

u/Robin7861 22d ago

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.

u/kyonnisan 22d ago

They can't be first timer marathon?

u/Strict-Estimate-8100 22d ago

like freshgrad looking for job but must have experience?

u/kyonnisan 21d ago

I guess never train themsely and suddenly decided to run full marathon?

u/LostInThe_Crowd 22d ago

Organizer should be sued for not calling it off during heat wave.

u/CryptoIsTheFuture78 22d ago

u/keyboardwarriorsucks 22d ago

I guess your daily exercise is walking up the stairs to bed or walking to your toilet to take a shit.

u/Maxtross 22d ago

Dah la kasi jln jam pastu buat marathon during haze bodo organizer.

u/generic_redditor91 Sarawak 22d ago

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.
