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!
