A shocking video surfaced this week:29-year-old Hyvon Ngetich was about to finish first in a marathon. Her body gave out just before the finish. She crosses the line, crawling.
This runner has perseverance, but she has put her health on the line. Immediately after the finish she was received by the medical team. Her blood sugar level turned out to be extremely low and that can be very dangerous for the body.
In a post-race interview, Hyvon Ngetich said you should keep going while running, but she also mentioned that she can't remember the last leg of the marathon. Health experts like to add a warning:perseverance should not be at the expense of your health.
