Because running 26.2 miles isn’t emotional enough.

"To speak out about this, being a sportsman, it's still news unfortunately.
"In a few years' time I can really see this just being anybody else, anybody can succeed in sport, and if more people can come out, then that will be evident.
"It's a scary thing. I'm really lucky, I've got a loving partner, a great family behind me, everyone is really supportive and welcoming. I've got no problem at all.
"That's not the same with everyone else though, unfortunately, in this sport.
"In sport, I don't think being gay is still a normal thing.
"I can't tell you why, I don't have an answer for that. In most other things now it's very normal to have a gay colleague, teachers, anything, any line of work it's common to be open. In sport it's not."

A portrait of Adam Goodes performing an Aboriginal war dance is a powerful end to a stellar career.
The oil portrait called 'The Dance' was painted by Jamie Cooper who told Fairfax Media that Goodes was adamant that the war dance, which he performed during the Indigenous Round earlier this year, should be preserved for posterity.
"He had a pretty good idea that when it all dies down, in the years to come, that image will be remembered, for all the right reasons," Cooper said.
"He said that was a really defining moment for him. He was really committed all the way through."
'The Dance' by Jamie Cooper.
Goodes had been the subject of racial taunts and continuous booing since 2013 when he was called an ape by a 13-year-old spectator.
In July, Goodes was subjected to so much booing throughout a game with the West Coast Eagles that Aboriginal teammate Lewis Jetta did a war dance toward the crowd. Two West Coast supporters were evicted from the grounds, one of them yelling that Goodes should, "go back to the zoo."
Following the incident, Goodes, a dual Brownlow Medallist took time off, returning for two games before retiring last weekend.
Goodes stepped away from the game and declined to do a lap of honour and refusing to give interviews.
Goodes played 372 games, the eighth highest of any player and the most games for an Indigenous player.
