I had a Heart Attack on a Group Run!

In an episode filled with personal revelations and a harrowing escape from mortality, Coach Herb narrates his recent experience with a heart attack that occurred during a group run. The introduction sets the tone for an episode that is not just a story of survival but a testament to resilience and a forward-looking perspective on life after a serious health scare. Herb shares his backstory, detailing past heart attacks, procedures, and his triumphant return to marathons just four months post-triple bypass surgery. Despite these challenges, Herb found success in ultra running and as an age-group competitor. However, a fateful group run on PI day brings a shocking twist, as Herb collapses and experiences a heart attack that leaves him waking up in a hospital. He talks about his path to recovery, including changes he'll make in his training, diet, and overall approach to running as he returns to his passion at a moderated pace.
