When you run a 5k(3.1 miles) then take ice baths after. Often mistaken for its derivative Netflix in chill referring f*** but no it means just run and take an ice bath. So shut the hell up football players and stop saying you wanna "5k and chill" with the cross country team
When someone is confused about distance and middle distance running and calls a 5k a 5k Marathon.
5k= 5,000 meters on a road/track/cross country/etc 3.1 miles
A Marathon is 42.195 kilometers or 26.2 miles.
The Marathon has Legendary roots.
According to ancient Greek history, the original marathon was ran by a Legendary soldier Pheidippides (Philippides) from a battlefield near the town of Marathon, Greece, to Athens in 490 B.C.
According to lore, he died shortly after the delivery.
