No it isn't.

I have your back. There's a lot of science out there that supports your statement. Humans are not designed to run compared to 4 legged animals. Salmon is also wrong that any given weekend doesn't have millions running a marathon. Maybe 80-200k a weekend.

Multiple studies have shown that immediately after a marathon, 30 to 50% of runners show increased levels of enzymes and biomarkers that are typically released during heart attacks and associated with heart failure.

Basically, running is like a drug.

Compare it cocaine, for example.
Elevated heart rate? Check
Vicious toll on the body? Check
Chance for heart failure after you're done? Check

The biggest difference is, salmon isn't gettin a blow job in the middle of a race.
