Traveling 26.2 miles can be a bit long even by a car, much less by your own feet.

Most marathoners finish the race in well beyond three hours, often times four or more, and it's certainly not out of the realm to be on your feet for five-plus hours.

After around 20 seconds of squatting, the runner stood up, lifted his shorts back over his waist, and cut through some trees to get back on the track, at least a few ounces lighter.
