He did a marathon with 24 hours notice thanks to his wife. Experts advise against it.
He did a marathon with 24 hours notice thanks to his wife. Experts advise against it. "It was fun to poke the bear and then eventually the bear bit me," Logan Goodspeed said with a chuckle. Show Caption Hide Caption Husband runs marathon with no training and 24 hour notice Maisie Todd documented her husband's marathon-running journey, after she signed him up and notified him only 24 hours before! Logan Goodspeed had never run a marathon. He's not even a runner or someone who regularly works out. But last weekend, the 32-year-old participated in his first marathon with just 24 hours' notice. On Sunday, June 1, Goodspeed participated in the Rock 'n' Roll San Diego Marathon thanks to his wife, Maisie Todd, who secretly signed him up back in April. And the entire journey, from Goodspeed learning the news to crossing the finish line, was documented on TikTok, garnering nearly 40 million collective views as of June 5. "I thought it would be funny just to say, 'Oh, I signed my husband up for a marathon with no notice.' That's kind of it. And then so many people wanted updates. I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off on Sunday trying to find him, follow him around, film it, edit it and upload," Todd told USA TODAY. In the end, Goodspeed completed the marathon, half running and half walking, in five hours and 58 minutes, finishing 5,081 out of 5,935 participants, per the Rock 'n' Roll San Diego Marathon website. And though he was a bit sore the day after the race, Goodspeed told USA TODAY on June 3 that he was surprised at just how good he felt. Despite how Goodspeed felt after the race, health experts and running coaches strongly advise against participating in a marathon with zero preparations, as short- and long-term injuries can be serious, or even fatal. Here is Goodspeed's story and journey to the finishing line. How it started So why did Todd sign up her lounging husband for a marathon without any clues? "Logan just kept saying that he could wake up and ... complete a marathon," Todd said. "Everyone was like, 'Come on, Logan, there's no way that you're going to wake up and complete a marathon with 24 hours' notice,' but he kept bringing it up and kept saying he could do it." Goodspeed isn't a fitness guru who "never runs, never swims, (never) bikes." Todd described him as "more of a lounge by the pool and read type of guy." So when Goodspeed was adamant he could take on the challenge, Todd decided to call him out on it. "It was fun to poke the bear and then eventually the bear bit me," Goodspeed said with a chuckle. In a TikTok video with 9.4 million views, the first of the series, Todd wakes Goodspeed up, with a bright camera flash, to let him know he has 24 hours to prepare for the race. "Okay, can't wait," Goodspeed says groggily in the video. As for preparations, there wasn't enough time for the recommended plan to gradually build up mileage over several weeks and months. Rather, Goodspeed needed race snacks and, more importantly, running shoes. After a trip to a nearby second-hand store, Goodspeed ended up with a pair of Adidas Climacool Bounce sneakers, which Adidas markets as "casual running or light workouts." "For more intense training or long-distance running, you might want to consider a shoe with a more responsive midsole," the Adidas website states about its Bounce line. Though the shoes may not have been designed for marathon running, Goodspeed said they were comfortable and did the job. Finishing with time to spare The goal, Goodspeed said, was to complete a full marathon, which is 26.2 miles, in seven hours or less. The key was to complete the marathon, not necessarily run the entire race. At five hours and 58 minutes, Goodspeed said he ran about half the marathon: 13.1 miles. Is it safe to run a marathon with no prep? In addition to the countless comments on TikTok asking for updates, there were also plenty that advised Goodspeed from participating in the race with zero training. Several warned about the risk of rhabdomyolysis, an injury that occurs when muscles break down and release the protein myoglobin in the blood, per the Cleveland Clinic. Rhabdomyolysis can be fatal. Goodspeed said he avoided these comments ahead of the race and knew if he started to experience pain, he would tap out. Fortunately, he didn't, aside from typical soreness. Nonetheless, health experts and running coaches don't recommend tackling a marathon with no training. In 2023, running coach Helen Gaunt told Runner's World that the body is not built to go from zero to 26.2 miles without training. The length of the marathon alone can put stress on various organs, including the heart and lungs. Gaunt advised that beginners start with a 16-week training program to gradually increase mileage. More marathons in the future? Despite the overall success of his first marathon, Goodspeed said he doesn't have plans to sign up, or be signed up, for any more marathons anytime soon. If he were to run a marathon again, Goodspeed said he'd enjoy doing so with a group of friends that could make the race more fun, rather than participating solo.

Why nonalcoholic beer is on track to become the world's second-largest beer category
Why nonalcoholic beer is on track to become the world's second-largest beer category Show Caption Hide Caption Debate over limiting alcohol service on flights gains attention | Cruising Altitude Ryanair's CEO has sparked debate by suggesting a strict limit on alcohol service at airlines and airports. Could this policy really take off? Justin Brown purchased his first nonalcoholic beer last winter, after spotting a six-pack of Athletic Brewing Company cans on sale at his local grocery store in Salt Lake City. Brown leads an active lifestyle filled with rock climbing, trail runs and chasing after his two kids, but the 37-year-old craft beer fan said he's increasingly health conscious as he grows older. The Athletic Brewing Co. beer's low calorie count – just 45 per can – was a major draw, along with having the chance to enjoy the taste of beer for less than 0.5% alcohol by volume. Brown said he still enjoys his craft beers, but nonalcoholic beers have worked their way into the rotation. '(It) has been top of mind as I grow into my late 30s, going to 40s, making sure I'm here for my children and taking care of myself,' Brown told USA TODAY while at a public pool, sipping on a nonalcoholic beer and watching his kids swim. 'I think people, as millennials, we're all trying to stay young, stay fit, stay healthy, and the nonalcoholic beer trend kind of fits within that ethos.' It's a trend taking off across global markets. Beverage industry analysis firm IWSR found nonalcoholic beer volume jumped 9% in 2024 despite a 1% dip in global beverage alcohol volume. At this pace, nonalcoholic beer is forecast to surpass ale as the second-largest beer category by volume worldwide this year, behind only lagers. 'I would have expected that as alcohol holistically struggles in this current climate, this nonalcoholic beer at the very least would slow its growth. And yet we're not seeing that," Marten Lodewijks, President of IWSR U.S., told USA TODAY. As of 2024, nonalcoholic beer ranked No. 3 by IWSR by making up 2% of global volume, outranking wheat beers (1%) and stouts (1%). The beer faces a colossal gap below lagers, which is by far the largest beer category at 92% of global volume. Nonalcoholic beer sales are up Nonalcoholic beer sales have been on an upward trend since 2018, led by major markets like the U.S., Japan and Germany, according to IWSR data. Between 2019 and 2024, nonalcoholic beer volume in the U.S. grew 175%, propelling the country's ranking from the category's sixth-largest market to third-largest. It's gotten popular enough for Glen Fox, Anheuser-Busch endowed professor of malting and brewing sciences at the University of California, Davis, to add nonalcoholic beer to his teaching program this year. "We're brewing our own nonalcoholic beer for the students to look at, to get that experience," Fox said. "We want to be sure that we understand the process, educate the new brewers, so that they have a good understanding before they go and get a job in the industry." Why is nonalcoholic beer becoming more popular? Experts pointed to waning alcohol sales and growing health concerns as major drivers. Former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy in January released an advisory warning of the direct link between alcohol consumption and increased cancer risk. That same month, advertising and sales measurement technology firm NCSolutions released a survey that found 49% of Americans planned to drink less in 2025, up from 41% in 2024. With roughly 0.5% alcohol by volume among most brands, nonalcoholic beer has proved to be an appealing alternative. Especially as the messaging around nonalcoholic beer has shifted to broaden its appeal, according to Dave Williams, vice president of analytics and insight for Bump Williams Consulting, a Connecticut firm that specializes in the alcoholic beverage industry. No longer is the drink viewed as the humdrum option for people who can't consume alcohol, whether that's because they're in recovery or pregnant, he said. "They broke down the stigma surrounding holding a nonalcoholic beer or beverage. ... There is a whole crop of consumers out there that are showing interest in this nonalcoholic alternative," Williams said. 'Now, you can still enjoy beer, feel like you're part of the moment, part of the group, part of the occasion, without having to incorporate any of your perceived objections or obstacles to the alcoholic side of it.' What are Americans drinking in 2025? Consumers are chasing moderation. And unlike regular beer, Lodewijks noted nonalcoholic beers can be sipped during a lunch break at work or – as demonstrated by Brown – public settings that are typically alcohol-free. More variety has likely helped, with new entrants like Athletic Brewing Co., which launched in 2018, and nonalcoholic alternatives to most of the top beer brands, including Heineken 0.0 and Corona Non-alcoholic. Fox of the University of California, Davis, said the taste has also come a long way compared with nonalcoholic beers sold 50 years ago. 'The process at the time removed some flavor when they removed the alcohol,' he said. 'But with the engineering and the way we can brew these now, that's a thing of the past. There are really tasty, flavorsome, nonalcoholic beers.' Fox warned that if choosing nonalcoholic beer, it's better to buy canned or bottled. The alcohol in beer acts as a preservative that prevents the growth of microbes; with less alcohol, nonalcoholic beer served on draft can be more susceptible to spoilage and pathogens. 'You're relying on the pub to keep their lines clean,' he said. 'Be careful getting if you're getting it off the tap. Ask questions about how old it is, when they cleaned their line.'
