A few months ago I posted on the recent and high profile deaths of a few runners during the fall marathon season. Now comes a report from The New England Journal of Medicine on the subject.
The study confirmed my previous post, that is, that the overall risk is low, and generally limited to those with pre-existing, and sometimes undiagnosed heart conditions.
Read about the study here:
