Modern marathoners are better equipped than the ancient Greek messenger due to improved training, nutrition, and hydration strategies. They also have access to medical support along the race route and better understanding of their physical limits. Additionally, today's races are often designed with safety measures and regular checkpoints, reducing the risk of severe exhaustion or collapse. These factors contribute to a much safer marathon experience than what was historically experienced.
