"He was only 32 years old, how could he die at such a young age?"
On March 13, the news of the death of marathon runner Dang Jiangtao suddenly came.
In the past, Dang Jiangtao was known as the "God of War for Running Circles", and the whole horse was generally completed in 2 hours and 35 minutes;
The half-marathon results are even more amazing, winning the runner-up in the Guixi Half Marathon twice.
At the beginning of this year, Dang Jiangtao also set up the lofty ambition that the whole horse would run for two hours and a half hours.
However, before he achieved his goal, the news of his death came.
This can't help but make people wonder, why did Dang Jiangtao, who was just over 30 years old, pass away?
The news of his death came suddenly
On March 13, many marathon bloggers mourned Dang Jiangtao on the short video platform.
He not only put a photo of Dang Jiangtao, but also sadly accompanied the text that we still have a cross-country run.
The bright smile of Dang Jiangtao in the photo is in strong contrast with the blogger's accompanying text.
Many netizens were stunned, they were shocked by the death of Dang Jiangtao.
After all, Dang Jiangtao's fame in the marathon circle is no less than that of a second-tier star.
Dang Jiangtao used to be a professional track and field athlete on the Henan provincial team, and he has been friends with the track almost since he was a child;
He is thin, but he has a high muscle content, and his cardiopulmonary function is not ordinarily strong, so he is simply the chosen marathon runner.
After entering the provincial team, Dong Junfeng, the head coach of the Henan Provincial Marathon, took a fancy to him at a glance and turned him into his student.
Don't look at Dong Junfeng's fame is not very big, Xu Bingjie under his guidance once ranked among the first-line runners in China in the 2023 marathon with a time of 2 hours, 29 minutes and 48 seconds.
At the same time, he also has high hopes for Dang Jiangtao, and the two often train together.
And Dang Jiangtao's two half-marathon runner-up results, the pace of the whole marathon has been maintained at more than 3 minutes all year round, which makes Dong Junfeng very pleased.
More importantly, Dang Jiangtao is not only talented, but also has high requirements for himself.
In order to be able to maintain a good body shape, his body fat percentage is kept below 10% all year round;
And he exercises regularly, and he also has eight-pack abs;
With such a perfect figure, he is also called "Man of Steel" by most fans.
Ten years of work on the stage for one minute and off the stage, the same is true for marathon runners, you must keep exercising to get good results.
Dang Jiangtao is very diligent, whether it is the scorching heat or the cold winter, his weekly running volume is almost more than 100 kilometers, and sometimes he can run a full marathon in a single day.
Even if he had a cold and was not feeling well, he did not stop running, vowing to run for 2 hours and 30 minutes.
Dang Jiangtao's momentum also inspired many netizens who wanted to exercise.
However, what people didn't expect was that Dang Jiangtao, who seemed to be full of vitality every day, died at a young age.
What's even more sad is that at the age of 32 this year, he has just gotten married.
The family is the saddest
Dang Jiangtao and his wife have been in love for many years, and the two entered the palace of marriage last year.
Dang Jiangtao's wife is not only very gentle and virtuous, but also very supportive of his career.
His wife often held up her camera to record Dang Jiangtao's heroic demeanor.
Whether it is Dang Jiangtao's daily training or a formal marathon;
Whether it is a competition in Henan Province or a remote desert area, his wife accompanies him.
Even if he sometimes doesn't run well, his wife comforts and encourages him with a smile on her face.
Dang Jiangtao can firmly walk on the road of marathon, which is inseparable from the support of his wife.
And Dang Jiangtao also understands this truth, he gave all his love to his wife.
When he went to the training camp before, he would tell his wife about his sad feelings;
And when the two are together, he is also willing to accompany his wife to play some "childish" games.
The relationship between the two is getting stronger and stronger.
On March 2, at the Suzhou Marathon site, the two were very happy to take a group photo, and their faces were full of sweetness.
Dang Jiangtao, who was in a good mood, also made an appointment with his running friends to meet again next time.
But the next time this promise has become far away.
Regarding the reason for Dang Jiangtao's death, an insider revealed that he felt unwell at home and was sent to the hospital and was not rescued;
Although the specific reason was not disclosed, the words "jealous of the talent" of his friend also showed that the disease was ferocious.
Most netizens were also very sad about the death of Dang Jiangtao, and left messages "I hope that the party god can go all the way!" ”
The death of 32-year-old Dang Jiangtao also made everyone realize that the circle-running thinking of "fighting harder and stronger" seems to be incorrect......
Exercise in moderation
On 22 January 2024, the Hong Kong Marathon was held as scheduled.
Mr. Zhang, 30, was also fully armed and hurriedly went to participate in the half-marathon race.
At the end of the race, he had a smile on his face, holding his medal and ready to share the joy with his friends.
Unexpectedly, he fainted and fell to the ground as soon as he arrived at Tin Hau Station of the Hong Kong Subway, and then died.
In July of the same year, Lu, president of the Marathon Association of Shenqiu County, Henan, also died suddenly.
It can be seen from Lu's position alone that he has senior experience in running marathons.
Lu's favorite thing before his death was morning jogging, and according to his friends, he insisted on running about 22 kilometers every day, and the day he died was no exception.
After that, Lu also made delicious breakfast and lunch for himself as usual;
However, just as Lu was about to take a lunch break, the disease suddenly struck.
From the onset of a speechless heart attack to his death, the time in between is so short that he can't react at all.
Lu's life was finally fixed at the age of 54.
These examples all illustrate the need for moderate exercise.
Everyone's physical fitness is different, and the amount of exercise should also vary from person to person, if you overdraft your body for a long time, it is very harmful to your own health.
Moreover, Dong Junfeng, the coach of Dang Jiangtao, has also analyzed the case of sudden death in the marathon in front of the media many times.
He believes that the main causes are "unbalanced mentality" and "blind pursuit of results".
In addition, Dong Junfeng has repeatedly called on marathon participants not to overtrain, because overdraft is more harmful to the body.
Since 2015, the popularity of "horse running" has remained high;
Most of the enthusiasts are also very popular, and they all want to show their skills on the runway.
But they seem to have forgotten that their bodies can't stand it.
I hope that everyone in life must pay attention to their physical health when exercising;
Don't blindly follow the trend and start training with a moment of brain fever.
If you really like marathons, you can complete multiple 15-18km long-distance training before the race to enhance endurance, as Coach Dong Junfeng said.
epilogue
Dang Jiangtao's death at the age of 32 is really regrettable.
The news of his passing also tells us that the marathon is not as simple as it seems;
If you really want to enter the pit, you must see if your physical fitness is suitable for this competition.
