How not to finish a marathon.

The video below is painful to watch, it shows the last minutes of the first marathon ran by a Japanese runner, Kayoko Fukushi, in January 2008. Fukushi is Japan's national record holder for the half-marathon. She ran the first half in 1:10.32 (!!), and then covered the second half in 1:30.32 (very slow for her)! While I would not like to finish a race in this state I would be very happy with a 2:40 marathon!
