Pheidippides

We all know the story of the marathon. Pheidippides ran from the town of Marathon on Athens, just under 25 miles (the Brits extended this to 26.2 miles In the 1908 Olympic Games to have the finish line in front of the Royal family) to share the news of victory. He promptly died.

I know this is insensitive, but anyone who has run a marathon can certainly relate to this!


Miles logged: 3.5
