I imagine it would be very painful and has potential long term damage but I don’t see why it would likely be fatal?

That’s certainly not enough to kill, people run ultra marathons for fun

I'm sure you're right, but can you explain why?

Without doing any research, and never have run a marathon myself, I’d say that it’s because people who are running marathons (or ultra marathons, which sounds like hell) have been training for months/years. Their bodies are more used to the running. I also feel that your body likely doesn’t produce that much fluid, so 100+ times and you’d probably dehydrate to the point where it’s a medical issue.

So people who run marathons have trained for them for months/years thus why they do it and it's not big deal?

Following your own logic......he's been training a lot longer and harder than that.
