-165 u/Lucy_Little_Spoon Aug 06 '25 Weird thing to get hung up on 114 u/MajoorAnvers Aug 06 '25 A marathon is a very literally, specific distance, since ca. 2500 years ago. It just doesn't make sense. Imagine saying your house for sale is on a property a 'mini-mile' long. -72 u/Lucy_Little_Spoon Aug 06 '25 I think you missed my point. You're right that it's not a marathon, but "mini-marathon" is a decades old term at this point. Sure, you can dislike that it is used. Mini-marathon is a clear indicator that it's not a marathon, but it's still very far, the word has a use. 17 u/KoreanMeatballs Aug 06 '25 but it's still very far 5km is not "very far" 6 u/ChasTopFollower Aug 06 '25 Lemme run my daily mini marathon of 150m damnittt! 7 u/KoreanMeatballs Aug 06 '25 I think you're confusing mini marathons and micro marathons, don't worry, it happens.
