Just two miles from the NYC Marathon finish line, 24-year-old runner Rachel Apa suddenly collapses and never makes it home. Rachel Apa, a former college field hockey player, had spent months training for her first marathon when she collapsed in Central Park. Her father tracked her progress from Pennsylvania, sending encouragement at every mile. After Apa texted him “Ow” and then “Ow ow,” his final message went unanswered. Despite efforts by bystanders, emergency responders and doctors, Apa died later Sunday evening. Her father says she suffered from rhabdomyolysis, a rare, life-threatening condition that causes muscle tissue to break down. Apa was running to raise money for Parkinson’s disease research in honor of her late grandfather, raising more than $22,000.

Want to run a marathon? You need a ton of "time on feet". In endurance training we call that "volume". If you don't want to feel like death at the finish you need to invest several hours per week training. Don't make this training mistake. Get your volume

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏅 James Milner after running the New York Marathon in an incredible 3 hours and 9 minutes: 🗣️ Milner: "I’ve been trying to do three or four runs a week, building up the mileage. It’s been a bit of a transition, obviously. It’s completely different to playing football. Football’s multi-directional, lots of high-intensity runs. I’ve always had a pretty good engine." "My longest run in preparation? Longest I’ve done is just over 32 kilometres. I hit 30 another couple of times, and then just used AI really for a training program." ✍️ @letsrundotcom
