Ngubani olawula ihlabathi? Mantombi! Uninzi lweembaleki ezithathe inxaxheba kwimidyarho ngo-2014 ibingabasetyhini-oko kukuthi i-10.7 yezigidi zabagqibeli xa kuthelekiswa namadoda azizigidi ezisi-8-ngokolwazi olutsha oluvela kwi-Running USA.

Umbutho ogxile ekubalekeni, ongajonganga kwenza nzuzo ujonga ukukhula kweshishini kunye nezemidlalo kunye nentsingiselo minyaka le kwaye bafumanise ukuba ngo-2014, iimbaleki ezibhinqileyo zongamele lonke uhlobo lomdyarho ngaphandle kweembaleki ezipheleleyo, ezibandakanya ii-5Ks, 10Ks, kunye nesiqingatha. Kwaye indawo emnandi yokubaleka ibonakala iphakathi kwama-25 nama-44 kuzo zombini izini, njengoko i-53 yepesenti yabo bonke abagqibileyo bebesuka kolu luhlu lobudala.

Ngaphezu koko, iimbaleki zezo zombini izini zinomdla wokuhamba umgama kunangaphambili. Ukuthatha inxaxheba kwiihafu zemarathoni kukhule kakhulu ngo-2014, ngeepesenti ezi-4 ukusukela kunyaka ongaphambili. Ngapha koko, irekhodi leembaleki kwihlabathi liphela-abantu abangama-550,637! -Imarathoni ezigqityiweyo ngo-2014.

Ekuphela kwe-bummer? Olunye lwezifundo ze-Running USA, olu lujolise ngokukodwa kwiimbaleki, lwafumanisa ukuba ngoku sicotha kunokuba sasinjalo kugqatso kwiminyaka engama-30 eyadlulayo. Umndilili we-2014 umdyarho we-4: 19: 27 wamadoda kunye no-4: 44: 19 kwabasetyhini ngamnye ungaphezulu kwemizuzu engama-40 ecothayo kunomyinge weqela ngalinye ngo-1980.

Ngethamsanqa, nangona kunjalo, la manani abangelwa ikakhulu kukuthontelana kweembaleki ezibhalisela imidyarho emide. IiMarathoni zikhule ngokuzinzileyo kule minyaka ingama-38 idlulileyo ngqo, kwaye u-2014 wabona abantu abangama-9,000 ngaphezulu besiya kwiimayile ezingama-26.2 kunonyaka ophelileyo.

Ukuba la maqela eembaleki uye waphinda wacinga ngokubhalisa ngo-2015, ungakhathazeki-ngelixa iNew York City Marathon ibone irekhodi labantu abangama-50,266 bewela umgca wokugqibela, uninzi lokukhula kogqatso lwehlabathi lusuka kwimidyarho emincinci evulwayo, iqhayisa ngabantu abangama-300 kuphela okanye ngaphezulu, itsho ingxelo.

Ngokubhekisele kumaxesha acothayo, ayingabo bonke abathathi-nxaxheba ababalekela ii-PRs, ke ngokuqinisekileyo ixesha eliqhelekileyo liya kuhamba kancinci. Kwaye iindaba azilunganga kangako nokuba uyabaleka, uhamba, okanye uyarhubuluza ugqityiwe, ungaphezulu kokufanele loo mbasa yokufikelela usukelo lwakho. Kodwa ukuba ufuna ukunciphisa ixesha lokugqiba kwakho (kwanangenxa yokufumana i-26.2 yeekhilomitha ngokukhawuleza), zama le mithetho mithandathu yokubaleka ngokukhawuleza kunye neengcebiso zokubaleka ngokukhawuleza, ixesha elide, ulomeleleyo, kunye noKonzakala-Simahla.
