8 Stages of Marathon Running

With my first marathon coming up this weekend, I thought it would be fitting to share this video that has been making the rounds lately.

From the excitement of Mile 1, to the shock of Mile 5 and the despair of Mile 19, nothing’s quite like the emotional roller coaster of running a marathon. This cartoon takes a look into the mind of a first time marathon runner as he experiences everything from Runner’s High, Runner’s Trots, and hitting “The Wall,” all over the course of 26.2 miles.
