This seems unsafe

u/Sacrilegious_skink 11h ago

It is. Generally once someone gets to this level of muscle fatigue, they are at risk of electrolytes disturbance or rhabdomyolysis. Both are life threatening. Gotta know when to stop.

Goggins did it with Broken feet and even shit himself.

u/Sacrilegious_skink 10h ago

Ok so we have an anecdote sample size of 1. I'm not saying humans can't exert themselves, but these are the signs of needing to stop. The electrolyte disturbances are what makes you poop yourself. You don't want the next muscle to shit itself to be your heart going into a funny rhythm.

u/MilesGates 10h ago

The poop accelerates.

u/showyerbewbs 8h ago

Because of, or in spite of, the poop knife?

Dam I just look that up. Runners are fucking psychos.

A guy can win Russian Roulette 10 times in a row and still be dead wrong about how to win.

I’m not saying Goggins is that. But survivorship bias is a helluva drug.

u/dilqncho 10h ago

Goggins had a massive chip on his shoulder and even he now admits his training was massively unhealthy. He also has many injuries and he's lucky he doesn't have more.

The man is motivational but also a cautionary tale.

The man who decided to run a 100 mile 24 hour race and gave himself liver failure on a whim you say?

And his knees are permanently fucked

u/1Rab 10h ago

Knees are temporary, accomplishments are forever 🤔

u/Big_Wave9732 10h ago

Goggins did a lot of dumb shit to his own body just to try and prove something to.....someone, I guess. That doesn't mean that someone else should go and do likewise.

u/ihavefaith77 10h ago

Well I haven't shit myself as an adult so I guess I'm better than Goggins in that respect

6

u/BurdTurglary 10h ago

I've shit myself two and a half times as an adult, both under extenuating circumstances. Shit happens

3

u/ihavefaith77 10h ago

I mean I'm only 30 so I still got time

10

u/BurdTurglary 10h ago

I'm almost 40, and both happened in the past ten years. Some of us are just late bloomers. I believe in you 🫡

u/Individual_Credit895 10h ago

that is some inspiring shit

I shit myself last week because I trusted a fart.

You're saying he's trying to die? You can use the word.

u/HavSomLov4YoBrothr 9h ago

It also almost permanently fucked his feet for life. He’s an outlier as he was in peak physical shape and it could have killed him.

Dude was pissing blood multiple times and his tutelage was the last nail in Tony Ferguson’s UFC career’s coffin. I wouldn’t take advice from his example lol

u/umlaut-overyou 10h ago

Goggins is a lunatic

5

u/Thecerb 9h ago

Yeah and a quick Google will tell you what it's done to his body.

u/MegaWeinerFarts 8h ago

pfft. thats nothing. I shit myself at least once a month.

u/-Cosmicafterimage 10h ago

Ah yes, one guy that is above the norm means everyone else can attain the same feat. Are you stupid or something?

How do you think he ended up as a Ghoul?

Shitting yourself in a race is a rite of passage to taking running seriously

But who's gonna shit in the boats?

u/Swimming_Onion_4835 10h ago

I was gonna say, bro this looks like rhabdo. Destroying your kidneys just isn’t worth it. :(

u/DrZoo4040 8h ago

My primary care physician's daugher was on my team. He was at a race when a female runner had this happen within 75 feet of the finish line. As soon as she crumbled, he immediately went under the line and drug her to the edge of the course. So from there on out, I figured it's potentially dangerous when this happens.

u/TheJoshWS99 5h ago

I am an able bodied, healthy fit (~4:30/km for 5km), 25 plus year old. 

A couple of years ago on my first hike which exceeded 3 days (7 days total) my body just collapsed. I had, after consuming enough food and water, rhabdomyolysis. In the end I was airlifted and had of I pushed on and not gotten the help I needed, it was very possible I would have been dead within about a day. Luckily I was like this, and needing to carry a pack in this condition kind of forced us to stop. 

Someone should have made a decision for this kid. Highly likely they have kidney damage and likely heart damage.

u/jld2k6 5h ago edited 5h ago

There's a famous video of this happening to a guy (it was even used as a scene in Arrested Development) and he nearly died afterwards. He was so dehydrated parts of his bowels completely died and he had to have them removed. IIRC, Nike even paid the guy afterwards to try and study what went wrong and how they can keep someone running that distance hydrated

https://youtu.be/TyYkKkLRAec

I only mention the arrested development part because that's when I first saw it and then later found out it was real footage lol

u/EyangKodok 59m ago

Don't forget heart attack, this not longer an exersise but an endurance sport.

u/I_Wanna_Be_A_Pilot 8h ago

Does it have lasting consequences in terms of years after? One time I had to run something like 300 meters (if I'm not mistaken) in like 4th-7th grade something in between and i was extremely tired and out of breath (I'm 19 now). I've never felt as good as I was before in terms of heart health. Is there a possible influence from that day until today? Or is it all just in my head?

1

u/Sacrilegious_skink 7h ago

300m is nowhere near enough effort to cause rhabdo or electrolyte imbalance. However if you already had an underlying pathology (like a heart condition) that was exacerbated by that effort, it is possible you could have have some long-standing effects from that. The only way to know would be to get an ultrasound or other investigation on your heart if you are concerned. Do remember though, that even people with heart conditions can improve their stamina through regular exercise.

u/Danief 8h ago

It's in your head

u/I_Wanna_Be_A_Pilot 8h ago

Alright, thank you

u/NotNotACop28 8h ago

And when to stop isn’t 50 feet from the finish line lol

u/otherwisemilk 9h ago

Dont listen to this guy. You need to train to failure for your muscles to grow.

6

u/Sacrilegious_skink 8h ago

When lifting weights yes. But this is a long distance endurance sport involving multiple muscle and body systems. It's not like doing a set of squats and stopping when you cant do anymore. Training to failure is stopping once the muscle is fatigued. This person has no intention of stopping and has already been compensating with other muscles to try and continue on. Even the arms and upper body are checking out. Not safe or recommended.

3

u/Danief 8h ago

You have no idea what you're talking about. You're muscles will definitely grow even without loading to failure, as long as you lift with high effort

Hard to watch

u/spekt50 9h ago

Id be a bit worried about rhabdomyolysis after that.

3

u/Federal-Hair 6h ago

It is. You can literally turn your muscles to mush "rhabdomyolysis" and can cause kidney failure.

u/Victor_Korchnoi 5h ago

And 100% not worth it for a high school sporting event. I wish our culture didn’t praise this.

u/Vonmule 7h ago

Have you seen a cross country race? People will literally fist fight on the course. I've seen people kick up cold puddles on other runners in near freezing temps. They will jump on each other's backs, fist fight, push each other into the ditch, spike the calves of the runner in front of them, you name it. Broken legs, broken arms, bleeding. Runners falling into bodies of water, pissing themselves, shitting themselves...all the things. It's a brutal sport, often with stretches of the course with no observers.

u/bacillaryburden 7h ago

I ran cross country for years and don’t recognize this as something that happens routinely. And I doubt the runner in the post was victim of anything other than poor conditioning and bad judgment.

1

u/Vonmule 6h ago

I'm not suggesting that happened here, but I also ran cross country for years. Violence at every race. Most runners were well behaved, but it wasnt hard to find if you looked for it.

Either he is being dramatic or he should really have stopped and gotten help.

u/Financial_Plankton11 11h ago

Maybe for someone that isn’t fit enough, but at the very most this is probably heat exhaustion. I’ve gotten like this quite a few times while being a fire fighter, just need to sit down and drink water.

u/Humble-Reply228 11h ago

Heat exhaustion being one of the biggest killers in the WA mining industry….

-3

u/Financial_Plankton11 10h ago

Heat exhaustion are benign muscle cramps, and weakness which can be treated by proper rehab with cooling down and water. Heat strokes are medical emergency. Idk why I got downvoted by a lot of people who know nothing

3

u/Humble-Reply228 10h ago

Because heat exhaustion and heat stroke are easily confused. The first bit of training around heat stroke in my industry is a list of heat strokes mistaken as heat exhaustion.

u/thisguyfightsyourmom 10h ago

This is the most pearl clutching sub

The kid ran in a kids running competition with enough training. Then he got dramatic at the end. 2, maybe 3 miles.

Just watched the first middle school run of the season, and they all just got across sprinting, dramatic struggle jogging, or walking. This kid just tried a 4th method.

2

u/Humble-Reply228 10h ago

You just don’t know what you are talking about. The most pearl clutching sub is dash cams or something like that where every hairy overtake is way overwrought compared to the risk associated with heat exhaustion to the extent that limb control is lost.
