I thought that most heart conditions, congenital or otherwise, could be tested. If I was running a marathon, triathlon, or any other endurance activity, I'd have the full gambit of tests run to make sure I didn't have some quirky thing that was going to kill me from running.

I've done a full marathon and a handful of 1/2 marathons and I think it is too far and is extreme. I think anything over five miles is extreme, but I still do it stupidly. It is really hard on your body and I'm not sure what it accomplishes after five miles besides wear and tear. I feel great after running five miles.

This can all be avoided by just walking.

I can see this being the argument in 50 years when we are all on those hover chairs like in "Up"
"walking causes too much stress on the body, its healthier to just sit all day"

That's a long time at full speed, but I know you are talking distance not full speed. Still though, stop taking away from my fascination with African wild dogs
You need tp bone up on some facts - dogs of any type don't run anywhere close tp 60 mph for any distance, let alone an hour. Wild dogs can probably trot for hours at some reasonable pace however - that is how they catch their prey. Just run them into exhaustion.
If they could come anywhere close to 60mph, they'd be ambush hunters like a cheetah, but they'd burn out after half a minute also.

Unequivocally.

60 kmph = 37 mph

A mile and a kilometer aren't the same distance, brah.

If true, that's a very fast rate for long distance.

She most likely had either hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, long QT syndrome or a genetic channelopathy. HCM is usually caught on echo, but the others can easily be missed by conventional screening measures. It's really of matter of luck, either having it caught incidentally on EKG or being very close to medical help when you get thrown into vtach/vfib.

Basically, running is like a drug. Compare it cocaine, for example. Elevated heart rate? Check Vicious toll on the body? Check Chance for heart failure after you're done? Check The biggest difference is, salmon isn't gettin a blow job in the middle of a race.

I was just reading it off Wikipedia Eta: kmph not mph
