47 year old, with no training won a marathon? Yeah, she cheated, or the story is bullshit, or both.

People who work labour jobs are fitter than regular office workers. I think she actually did it. Besides, women are far better at endurance tests than men are.

Have you ever ran even a half marathon? You absolutely cannot win a marathon race just by being generally fit and not doing marathon training.

You can. She probably had little competition in her age bracket

I concede you could maybe slog through a half, painfully, slowly, and cross the finish line without much training.

The article says this was a marathon, although from another comment it appears it may just be AI slop to begin with.
