Running a marathon can compromise the immune system for several months ...
there is a sharp spike in heart rate ...
extra stress on the kidneys ...
liver goes into overdrive ...
brain swelling ...
hyponatremic runners lose their ability to remember numbers ...

The OP quotes, Dr. Lewis G. Maharam, but how does Dr. Lewis G. Maharam know this? From looking at Dr. Lewis G. Maharam's photo on the internet, he doesn't look like a marathon runner. Is he a marathon runner?
Inconclusive as to whether he's a runner, but he is an accomplished self promoter.
Dr. Maharam is the most trusted doctor in the sport of running.
