Sorry but my take is running distances like this is pure vanity. It serves no purpose but to glorify oneself for no appreciable gain.

But when you’re only a few miles from the finish line, and you’re booking it at a speedy pace, your own heart rate is much higher than that. Plus, you’re also dealing with an adrenaline surge. Both of these factors can be problematic, since they can push you to pump too fast with your compressions.
So with the exception of the other nurse who was a spectator, every runner who stopped had to take a moment to get his or her heart rate down in order to give proper compressions.”
