[–] oce@jlai.lu 27 points 2 years ago (3 children) I'm not sure two marathons per day can be qualified of lower intensity. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] lennybird@lemmy.world 18 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Both of you are kind of right. It's still an insane feat of endurance but averaging an 18 minute mile is pretty damn slow and likely zone 2-3 even in rugged terrain for an athlete like her. High intensity isn't just a generalized term but specific to heart rate, lactate buildup, and anaerobic states. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] superkret@feddit.org 11 points 2 years ago A friend of mine regularly runs trail ultra-marathons.

There is a difference in intensity between 2 marathons over 17 hours, vs 2 marathons over 8 hours. The higher intensity is harder, that's why you get a medal for finishing fast. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] oce@jlai.lu -2 points 2 years ago Indeed, what disturbs you in what I said? permalink fedilink source parent [–] Threeme2189@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) So is 0 marathons per day.

You just need to define what you're comparing it against. Surely two marathons per day is lower intensity than two marathons per half-day or 3 marathons per day. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] oce@jlai.lu 1 point 2 years ago Compared to the common sport professional performance, I would say. Not many people can do a marathon, less two in the same day, even less two per day during 40 days. permalink fedilink source parent
