    I had no idea you could die from jogging a marathon so I think you would be wrong about that.

    Literally the first person to run a marathon, the Greek runner Pheidippides bringing the news to Athens about the Greek victory over the Persians at Marathon, died from exhaustion, his last words being “Rejoice, we conquer!” as he collapsed.
