Lance Armstrong, cancer survivor, ran his first Boston Marathon today with a time of 2 hours, 50 minutes, 58 seconds. The third marathon for Armstrong (he ran the New York marathon twice), who ran it to raise money for his foundation Livestrong, stated again how much more difficult running a marathon is over cycling.
"You can't compare the pounding or running with the efficiency of a bicycle," he said. "Nothing even comes close to comparing the pain, especially it seems like this course, with a significant amount of downhills ... that really take their toll on the muscles."
Great job, Lance, and a big "thank you" for validating us marathoners!
