“The most common diagnosis associated with sudden cardiac arrest was coronary artery disease.”
I wonder the fitness levels of the people that experienced cardiac arrests. Like were these first time runners that signed up to run a marathon?

Being in shape makes you far less likely to die or be injured by a heart attack than being a fat unhealthy pig. Anyone that refuses to accept this is living in denial.
Health matters, exercise matters, and life has random elements but is not random. Choices do have consequences.
In my understanding of what happens during sudden arrest is that after having filled the artery wall tubing with as much plaque as it could stand, instead of ruptering through the outer wall , it collapses inwards, cutting off blood supply to the heart muscle.
I read about marathon runners saying it takes a month to recover from a marathon. That can't be healthy.
I never felt healthier in my life than that year.
This is not medical advice, but the body is amazingly adaptable and can withstand some pretty high levels of stress if you build up to them slowly and are willing to back off when it tells you to.
