Ok, yeah that's insane. No wonder the poor guy dropped from exhaustion
Probably kidney failure
Happy Cakeday! ๐ฐ๐
Kidney failure? Was he chugging wine and mead the whole way, or is that just a result of extreme dehydration?
Muscles break down kidneys get overwhelmed and go into failure. Sometimes (rarely) ultra marathoners will need dialysis and they are running a much shorter distance.
Rhabdo?
I dunno basically basing this off a bit of running knowledge and something I sorta remembered, probably from an episode of house or some other medical show. I also did a bit of quick googling to validate its a real thing.
Ahh! Gotcha. Fair enough. I suppose that's actually useful for me to know, thanks!
