Did Katie Holmes really do the NY Marathon

I am currently training for a marathon and ran 16 miles on Sunday. I did triathlons (5) through the Texas spring and summer and apparently I'm still not nearly as fit as Ms Cruise.

Surprizingly I didn't look nearly as fresh as Mrs Tom Cruise did after her 26.2 after my measely 16 and I'll be training for more than the mere two months Katie Holmes trained in.

Now I'm not saying she DIDN'T do it, I'm just surprised at how good she looked at the finish line. So you tell me what YOU think.

I mean, after 26.2 she had not sweat enough to even soil the neck or chest of her cotton spandex tank nor did she have to doff the zip-up hoodie she wore over it. She didn't even sweat throught he brim of her NYFD cotton (not cool max) baseball cap. She had her (illegal) IPod, but no FuelBelt.

More amazingly is, she had a baby a year ago but was able to completely forego a bra on her 26+ mile trek and she is in such great shape that she was not sweating or even FLUSHED at the finish line.

She felt so great and has such great feet that she was able to wear 3 inch heels later that night. Poor me, I was soaking in ice water after my 16 mile trek and still didn;t slap on the heel when I got home.

I guess I am just not cut out to ever be the athlete that Katie Holmes is.

So what do you think. Did she really run that marathon and am I just sour grapes because I sweat even when it's cold out?
 
Yeah, its true. I've already looked up her split times. I agree that she looked way too good to have just completed such an ordeal AND go out that night. Holy cow, I've not run a full marathon but I know after I did my half and also after an olympic triathlon I was down for the count both times the rest of the day just trying to catch back up on my hydration and nutrition.
She trained for 3 months...if that makes any more difference to you. lol. but still. yeah. crazy.
 
Don't you think the paparazzi would have caught her hopping in a car or something? All the cameras were on her.
 
I do find it strange that in all those 3 months not one picture popped up of her training. Seems she can't pee without people taking pictures, how'd they miss her slipping out for hours of running?
 
Oprah ran a marathon in 4 hours 29 minutes
Katie Holmes did it in 5 hours 29 minutes

I believe it's very possible to finish a marathon in 5 1/2 hours without break sweat, the question is what's the point? If you're going to do something like a marathon then at least put some effort in and break a sweat.
 
12 minute mile (5mph) is faster than a brisk walk, for 5 1/2 hours without sweating or even having your face flushed? Sorry, but I have to disagree.

Also, I not seen any reports that anyone saw her on the route or pix of her on the route. Yes, her chip has a time, but anyone could have been wearing that chip.

I will give you this. If she ran 24 miles in it in 4.5 hours, but the TomKat folks pulled her off the course at mile 24 to give her a shower and prep her for the media before letting her do the last two miles . . .(which quite honestly would be pretty bizarre after running a marathon).
 
That's probably it, they might have given her a new top to wear for the final mile or something.

However, it's worth remembering that her average speed was 4.7mph and the average walking speed for a woman is 3mph. Katie Holmes is also young and taller than the average woman so her average speed will be a little higher than that anyway.
So in the end she bounced up and down for 26 miles screwing up her knees for nothing more than a power walk

Sorry but running for 5.5 hours at a snails pace is pointless, people who can't run shouldn't be doing endurance events like this, it isn't good for your body. It's like doing body weight squats for 5 hours, what does it prove or achieve? All it does is cause long lasting damage to your body
 
I bet she did at least half of the race in Tom's space ship
