If you get tired while swimming, there's actually a risk of drowning. Running just lets you pass out!
likeaboss4222
just float but that also does depend on your body type but still
Brandon
Also, swimming is hard for a runner...
Salamat
I want to run a marathon.
Conor Begley
I can't float so I can't really swim
Conor Begley
I cycled 13 miles in 2 hours so running 26 miles will take 8 hours
Jason Doherty
So lets say you cycle 30 kph you can walk 15 kph fuck logic
FistofStalin
Quite.
Samuel Metcalf
26 miles in 8 hours? that makes no sense. If you're running, let's say you average at 8 mph, even though it is very possible to run faster. That should only take 3 hours and some change. In order to "run" it in 8 hours that would mean your going about 3 mph...That's a walk not a run...maybe a slight jog....I just had to say that. :)
Meowcats
Actually, you could go into cardiac arrest.
Franklin Chen
@likeaboss unless you insist on swimming 5 miles using backstroke you're gonna drown
Trace Hilbun
I'm a long distance runner and a swimmer. I have swam 2 miles before and almost died. But I have ran 15 miles before and felt like I could go on further.
Rainbow
Swimming 5 miles isn't that hard.
Sanic Hegehog
Gotta Go Fast
gills
funnily enough swimming is easy for a swimmer, and there is always side stroke for when you get too tired
John Rodack
I had to swim that much nearly every day when I swam competitively but running seems more fun lol
Kristers Stepanovs
You could just slowly swim... like you know, no pressure at all just float till you get there. running is much harder
Mouhammad Row Toukhy
Nobody said the water was deep.
Jenski Slommers
Not if you have a heart problem. My sister does and she can only run two miles and her chest starts to hurt.
thehottie_fromIreland
Zach, what if when you fall you seriously harm your self
ASHLEII13
Fuck yea it does!!!
PaperlessPaper
@Zach What if you pass out over a lake?
adi
i am fat so i float and i do not give a damn
Alpha
Well, I don't swim because of bindings. I have complete crap lungs because of the bindings, and I'd get winded and pass out either way. But with running I wouldn't drown.
theboss
Depends how cold the water is, most people freeze to death.
Alexandre Serra
just fucking go slow
thatguyyouknow
I can't do either one, so

Mike Buonomo
Ware a life vest!
NewYorker
Your shoulders and arms would be dead from just a half mile, well that's just my opinion
Witherful
Doesn't say the water isnt 2 feet deep and it doesn't say that you couldn't take a break.
Carlos
Shallow water bro shallow water
alyssa
I do swim and yes you could do swim but if you were smart you would pace yourself. I pace my self in practice so i wont get tired and after practice is over i feel like i could go and run a mile or 2
omg_what
maybe it's in a pool??
optickunzy
I dont swim very well..
Jacob Dittmer
I'll take 10 minute breaks every 5 minutes

I suck at swimming I'm gonna just keep running and running and running

Your right but if your a talented swimmer you can swim backwards and that would save your troubles I'm so sorry if I sound stupid here

Samantha
I HATE running. I love swimming. Easy pick. Plus I'm a pretty good swimmer
dean get girls
no one said the water was deep
Alex
Actually, as soon as i can, i will go swim 5 miles, it cant be that hard
Forgottenslender
What if you pass out in an ocean 5 miles out, meant to be taken back in a boat, but instead get eaten alive by one of the many dangerous creatures there(I know your expecting me to say sharks)
krazy loving squid
And you get tired faster when swimming
skyrimmian
It never said that you didn't get breaks. . .
Gabo

never says u can't use life jacket so u don't drown if you get tired.
Graham Earnest
I'm 14 and I can easily swim a mile. If i really tried I could do it. 66 laps not too bad.
Sudipta
You could swim 5 miles in a swimming pool and they didn't say you couldn't stop and take a break.
Alex
depends how deep the pool is
Jessica Fisher
i would swim cuz i have asthma. so yeah
Yshie
what if your on the side?
Trent
If u drown u are dead,if you pass out at least you re still alive for the moment
HolyToast3372
You can lay on your back and still be able to float
aisha
I DESAGREE JUST TAKE A BREACK
Nofle Almorabi
I swim very slow, like .005 miles per hour.
[deleted]

Tyler
Yeah but that is 26 miles. I still would take the running tho
BlurryFace l-/
It didn't say we couldn't have breaks
Katie
it doesn't say in one run....
Chris
Zach Dunn (not try to go against you) when you are running you could have one or two waterbottles. And when you are swimming you could stop when you feel a litre tired you could stop + how are you?
MURICAAA
26 miles in 8 hours wouldn't even be a light jog, you can walk it
sonic
i hate swiming a alot i love running
Itsme
thank you there is my point
jadyncute6
floating is a thing
Idk
Never said anything about Floaties. tubes or being in flowing water.. so i meaaan..
i am me
Yeah!
Rebecca
Well there is a chance you can just float when you get tired but if you run and pass out there is a chance you mayyy die of a heat stroke or if your in the cold you may die of frost bite aaand extra
Name
Just run 26 KM over the course of your life.
sanwan
your right drowning is more danger
Trisibisi
Yeah but you can't stop running for 26 whole miles!
JWHero123
Just swim in shallow water and you can walk, simple! Just time consuming, might record a vid with a gopro and post to youtube
Nio
Zach Dunn-never said the water had to be deep

I’m a stronger swimmer so

nada disso pois vc correndo pode ficar magro ou manter o ritimo de aleta

i have been a swimmer for quite a while and i dont think it would be that hard to swim five miles (if in steady waters without stream )
freddy
something called lifeguards, dont really wanna pass out while running and break my skull soo
Cassmonsta
Im taking lifeguard courses and already swim a couple km sometimes... This was really a no-brainer for me.

Love swiming where you on a competitive swim team hmm

It's basically an average day for me.

Evalgra
I'm scared shitless of open water, but it never said I couldn't use a floatation device.
Evalgra
It's a lot harder to die when running though
Patrick
Mr. Dunn brings up the excellent point of dying in the swimming event. Passing out only results in minor scrapes and bruises in the running option.
zrayz0123
Its funny how your name is patrick but you picked running
zrayz0123
Its funny how your name is patrick but you picked running
Alison
Doesn't say how deep the water is. It could be, like, 3 feet. And there could be life guards, too.
Oscar Oliver Olsson
Well, as a swimmer I'd obviously choose the 5 miles...
Patrick
Worst part is you CAN'T say you ran a marathon haha
Evan Marsh
Five miles is not that hard at all, with a combination of different strokes and floats it could be done easily. In swimming you can use different parts of your body to move you through the water there for giving the other parts a rest, unlike running where it's the constant use of your legs and feet.
HarpSeal2.0
im bad at swimming soooo its not easy for me to swim 5 miles
Scarlette Foxx
Nice logic
Alex60517
Run a marathon or swim a little...I could at least stop if I wanted too.

akudo1
You can just swim slow for 5 miles but you have to run the full 26 miles
NotAPerson
I know this is an 8 year old comment, but, it didn't say that it had to be in 1 session...
Minn23
it never said that it cant be a swimming pool that's shallow and you cant stant and in what time and that you cant take breaks
MoistWipes121E
is this even a debate right now.. running or anything else? obviously running lets be serious!
Sorry_Darth_Vader_Widebeam_Phaser
Try RUNNING 26 miles, unless you're an Olympian I doubt you can even walk that distance without a break
hey519
@SDVWP, accidentally clicked agree, 26 miles is marathon distance, it's been proven that with just 8 months of training, any average person can do it, you don't have to be an Olympian.
secretsonicfangirl
OK,I think I just nearly choked hearing that. I couldn't even imagine...
SunnyBones
I hear drowning is the most peaceful way to kick the bucket (and swallow its contents).
likeaboss4222
ok try holding your breath or having water go down the windpipe neither are very nice now try both at the same time
Sorry_Darth_Vader_Widebeam_Phaser
Peaceful my ass, gasping for air, most likely freaking out, holding your breath untill you have to inhale and all you have to inhale is water. Yup sounds realy peaceful and relaxing...
Kirsten
Most people who drown actually don't inhale water. The body simply shuts off the esophagus until you suffocate (in most instances)
[deleted]
was that supposed to be a plus because it still sounds painful as shit

I hope you are chaffing.

I would walk 500 miles...

to fall down at your door.
cerpintaxt
apparently you people don't realize how god damn slow the average human swims... you'd be in the water for hours working far more muscle with far less oxygen.
El-Syd
More muscles worked, In other words a better workout? And it doesn't say swimming underwater or holding your breath.
Alix
I swam for hours in a pool a couple times and I never got tired. I'm not trying to brag or anything. I'm not sure how it's possible because I'm not athletic built or muscular at all. I guess water just feels so natural to me. I love it.
0cookiemonster0
swimming is a full body work out.. and it never said you can't do it over a long period of time! ;)
Lewis
You're still swimming 5 miles, regardless of how long it takes.

But it doesn't have to be all right then

Both are exercises, but you had to choose one or the other to comment, right?
kokid913
I plain enjoy running more than swimming plus I would like to run a marathon
Boom244
Run and Survive passing out. Swim and die form drowning. Your point was?
Monstercam47
It didnt say you had to do it all a once. If you were allowed to take breaks 5 miles is better than 26 miles
Ethan Kalhs
who said u had to do it all at once
Michael Wilson
Swimming 5 miles would be way way harder
secretsonicfangirl
No it would NOT.I would actually ENJOY swimming 5 miles thank you very much.

Running tends to be easier than swimming for many individuals.
DiogoAJ
it just says "swim" while the other option makes you run, so if you swim slowly, I'm pretty sure that it will be way easier...

While swimming you use your entire body and run out of energy after about a hundred feet if your an insane athlete
