Hint: Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 marathon is ever 26.2 miles!
Instead, say: “How did y'all experience during too subsequently the marathon? Any especial memories”

p.s. An avoidable follow-up inquiry non to hold upwards asked: “Ummm, produce y'all hateful it’s 26.2 miles or 26.2 kilometers?”
Question: “So, what was your rate inwards the race?”

Instead, say: “Congratulations on running the marathon! That’s an incredible feat.”

Instead, say: “I’d dearest to larn to a greater extent than almost how y'all managed your nutrition piece y'all trained.”


Question: “When are y'all planning to run unopen to other marathon?”
Hint: This is similar quest a adult woman who only gave birth: “So, when are y'all having unopen to other baby?”
Instead, say: “It’s incredible that y'all only finished a marathon! Hope y'all acquire unopen to rest.”

Question: “You ran a marathon? I run too. I did a 5K final week.”
Hint: It’s non almost you. 
Instead, say: “I own got then much admiration for your fitness too persistence. You must experience then amazing to own got completed this race!”
