Yeah, I read that last night. It was kind of disheartening. Nothing further on long term effects but i saw some horrible stories on reddit of guys going into partial kidney failure during ultra marathons. I never had an interest in those but that sounds horrible. I have a feeling that the correlation of the kidney injuries is the fact that people don't precondition correctly or build up the endurance slowly. I think a lot of people can just will their way through a marathon but to be truly prepared for one takes a lot of work and a slow build up to it.
