“Li Meizhen got her period in the middle of the race during the Hengshui Lake Marathon. Despite this, she refused to drop out, continued the race, and finished it.

At 25 years old, the Chinese marathon runner kept running despite the visible blood on her legs, as her period started about 8 km from the finish line.

Determined to achieve the qualifying standards for a championship, she completed the event in 2 h 35, an accomplishment praised by many netizens for her courage and determination. 👏”

1. Her mentality is daebak…

2. A time of 2 hours and 35 minutes, even on the first day of your period, is really impressive

3. She’s seriously impressive…

4. My period is always irregular too, and when it comes, it gushes out in big clumps, and I get muscle aches… ㅠㅠㅠ That must have been really hard for her

5. But she couldn’t even go to the bathroom for a little…?ㅠㅠ

6. As someone who fills up my 7-day supply with water from waterfalls and streams on the first and second days, I totally get how much water flows down there… And I also understand how you don’t want to give up your record just because of your period ㅜㅜㅜ I just can’t say anything other than that she’s so amazing ㅜㅜㅜ

7. I’m giving her big applauses

8. She did well. Periods and sweats are normal. She’s impressive and respectable

9. She must’ve had such a hard time. Your body feels so heavy and painful. The flow is also annoying so you just want to wipe it offㅠㅠ

10. Wow, period blood clots rubbing on you and everything must be so painful… she’s amazing
