I turn 70 in a couple weeks. My dad had a bad ticker. My maternal grandfather died at age 70, in fact, on his 70th birthday, from a heart attack. My maternal grandmother died at 68 from heart disease. Before I started running, I had a heart calcium scan and a stress test.
My wife is 65. She ran track at the Div 1 level in college, and has been physically active her entire life since.
Both of her parents and her older brother have all had heart issues.
She just recently had a calcium scan and the doc says she has a 60% blockage. No need for surgery. He can treat it with medication.
Genetics trump exercise and healthy eating.

Way too many people doing these races without proper training You can’t just show up and run these things without preparing your body
I signed up for my company's 401k, but I don't think I can run that far.

Being that he was employed by Ochsner, I would assume he was forced to take a few.

No. There are gatekeepers at every corral that confirm the color of your bib before letting you in the corral.

He was a physical therapist
Surprising, with that name I would have guessed a financial planner!

I saw him being attended to. It was pretty obvious something serious happened. I felt like an a-hole that I kept running.

Then they need to a better job. I was in the red group and I spent the first mile dodging power walking heffers

This gets on my nerves. So many yahoos start in the red coral (highest non-seeded) and are walking in the first mile. I ran an extra 3 tenths dodging people.

Egenberg sponsors the crescent city classic. Will they sue themselves?

How many boosters did he take?
I’ve seen people running in 5Ks stopping for a “smoke break”. I asked them “are you crazy”? They said it gave hem a “boost” when they started getting tired.

So it’s true - you go to New Orleans - you gonna die no matter what

It's not for me

Yes you can, I’ve done it without running for a year or two before

I stay away from the CCC because most of the participants have no idea what they are doing.
