marathon is very damaging to the human bodies. We are more like apes, running long distances like deers or sprinting like cheetahs mean we need knee-replacement surgery.

Marathon Running shockingly linked to colon cancer in young people​

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-14768309/colon-cancer-running-asco-2025.html

A study has found that 35 to 50 years old who regularly run marathons are more likely to develop precancerous tumors in their colon, precursors of the disease.

Out of the 100 patients studied by DC-based scientists, 41 percent were found to have at least one adenoma - a benign tumor that could develop into the cancer. Fifteen percent had advanced adenomas, or more advanced growths. Of these people, more than half reported suffering from rectal bleeding, a warning sign of cancer.

Running long periods causes blood to be directed away from the colon to the legs, raising the risk of cell death and damaging mutations.

Dr Timothy Cannon, the medical oncologist who led the research, told DailyMail.com: 'As a colon cancer oncologist, I had seen several patients die of colon cancer that were in their 30s that ran ultramarathons, which were 50km or higher runs.

'We did this study because we were concerned that these runners were/are diverting all their blood flow to their legs during runs.

'And [then are having] infarcts in their colon, and a lot of cell turnover; the cells die and then turn over very quickly [meaning] there may be more risk of cancer causing mutations.'
