About this episode
A few days ago, I ended up in the hospital after a run with atrial fibrillation (AFib) — and while I’m doing okay now, the experience shook me up and taught me some lessons that I think every runner needs to hear. In this episode, I’m sharing exactly what happened, what the doctors told me, how I’m doing now, and the biggest takeaways I’m walking away with from the whole experience. This one is personal, but I also think it’s important. Because as runners, it’s really easy to convince ourselves to push through things, ignore warning signs, or downplay what our body is trying to tell us. This experience reminded me that getting help when something is wrong is not weakness — it’s wisdom. In this episode, you’ll learn:What Happened During And After The Run That Sent Me To The HospitalWhat AFib Is And Why The Doctors Took It So SeriouslyWhy Asking For Help Right Away Can Be The Smartest Move A Runner MakesThe Biggest Mental Battle I Faced When Returning To Running AfterwardHow Fear And Hesitation Can Show Up After A Scary Health ExperienceWhat The Doctors Told Me About Returning To TrainingThe Biggest Lessons I’m Taking Away From This Experience Moving Forward If this episode resonated with you, I hope it helps a ton.SHOW LINKS:Register for our race, The Desert Peak Ultra 100K + 50K at desertpeakultra.comWant to work with me to crush your next ultramarathon in our group coaching program?
