Runners Who Survived Cardiac Incidents

Anyone concerned about heart health (read: should be everyone!) needs to listen to this episode featuring two women runners—one who survived open-heart surgery after an aortic tear, the other who had a heart attack mid-run. With Sarah and Ellison, the survivors share:  -their harrowing heart-related tales;  -that the emotional/mental recovery is taking longer than the physical;  -the importance of not dismissing warning-sign symptoms; -the commonality of women’s responses to health crises; and, -their returns to running and exercise.    Be sure to catch the debut of Miles of Books, a monthly bonus segment, at the end of this episode. Here are the books discussed by Ellison, SBS, and Liz.
