It seems everyone wants to run a marathon, like it's some kind of great achievement. Walking or running 26 miles would be tough, but how do you explain how every celebrity and ex overweight person can do it? I personally have never wanted to run a marathon because of the sheer boredom, if I was to run a marathon I would throw in push ups just to make it interesting, meaning I would drop down every mile and do 50 to 100 push ups, now that would be tough!
I have no interest in running anything a talk show host or ex sandwich fat guy can run. My thought would be how many people can do 1,000 push ups in a day? How about 1,000 push ups in the time it takes to run a marathon 3 to 4 hours? Or doing 1,000 push ups in 1 hour?
Do you think an ex sandwich fat guy could do 1,000 push ups in 24 hours, no way! Most marathoners couldn't, but the marathon seems to be the standard of human fitness achievement.
Another question is what would put more of a beating on the body? 26 miles of running or 1,000 push ups, the answer is running 26 miles.
I say this all the time, if you follow and do what everyone else does you will get the same results. I don't want to get the results these overweight celebrity get. If you are a serious runner and you actually love running continue, but if you are doing because you think it's the mark of elite fitness your wrong.
I think a 1,000 push up marathon would kill most runners, most couldn't get off the ground, and ex President heart patient Bill Clinton couldn't be helped. I would like to see different standards in America for fitness, there are a great amount of fit men in the U.S but it seems that the fittest men come from outside the U.S same goes with the world strongest men. Why? Is it a tougher way of life? Is it a tougher way of training?
We look for the easy way out, we are softer, and we listen to whoever comes up, with the quickest, newest, and easiest way out. Which we all know hasn't been working.
I think the 1,000 push up marathon or at least the amount of push ups you can do in 1 hour would turn some heads. Give it a try, how many can you do in 1 hour? 1,500, 1,000, 750. Rules are work as hard as you can for one hour or to 1,000 push ups, and then feel how that accomplishment feels. This is a physical and mental toughness builder.
