If you're a competitive athlete or weekend warrior in your later years, you might want to read Haywire Heart- a very clear and understandable book about the endurance athlete and who too much of a good thing can hurt you. I know I wish I had read it sooner, but truth be told, very little information about hearth health and the endurance athlete exists. Co-author Chris Case and I met in 2019 cycling in the Alps when I first learned about his book. Please join me for a conversation with Chris to hear about the book, and a quest for answers I know many of us seek. Here's a link to the book we discuss- Haywire Heart.

For many of us, running a marathon is a dream. We might train for one or two 26.2 mile marathon in our lifetime. In todays podcast, I speak with Davis Cutter, the Boston native, who in 2021, ran not one or two, but 52- yes- that’s one every week. In addition to his daily training runs of 6-8 miles and his marathon length runs, he also ran a number of longer runs, some up to 50 or 100 miles.
And yes, that’s straight, and not over the course of days or a week. According the Strava- the fitness app, the average running distance for 27million users is about 4 miles per day. If you look at Davis’s statistics on Strava, he averaged over 55 miles per week, for every week of the year. Let’s hear more from Davis about how he managed to keep on pace with this challenge he created form himself. He joins us from Amsterdam.
