Another sad day in the running community as Elite distance runner Ryan Shay collapsed and died on Saturday (Nov 3) during the U.S. men's marathon Olympic trials. He was only 28 years old and at his running peak.
Although he was born with an enlarged heart at age 14, doctors gave him the clear and he has since ran his way to fame.
It's kind of disturbing to read such stories of elite long distance runners collapsing and kicking the bucket after finishing a marathorn. Pushing the body beyond endurance or is it just pure coincidence? The vulnerability in human beings is definitely something worth pondering over.
