People die every day crossing the road, you don't need a certificate to do that.

Anyone watch the London Marathon coverage today? Love watching it, the atmosphere, the stories, next best thing to being there.

Nell McAndrew is simply amazing.

don't like her, she was the only woman to beat me into the olympic stadium

haha - I checked her wikipedia page afterwards and insta-clocked that she'd beaten you in that

her wikipedia page mentions beating me?

She could beat me on a daily basis.

Yeah, but Jebus will look after those ones.  Says so in the Bible innit

From the telegraph article:

"The death was the tenth since the London Marathon began in 1981.

Five of the previous fatalities were a result of heart disease in runners apparently unaware that they had a problem. Four of these were cases of severe coronary heart disease."

it's those things that people 'didn't know they had' that are usually the problem - unless you have a total check up to rule everything out I guess there's no way of knowing if you've not had any symptoms.  If something's bad enough to kill you whilst running though i'm surprised none of them had any issues during training.

Patrice Muamba, the Bolton footballer who had a heart attack on the pitch and his heart stopped beating for 78 minutes, has thanked god for saving him. Yep, not one mention of the brilliant scientists and doctors whose intervention kept him alive. Nope, it was the god who gave him the heart attack to start with who saved him. God obviously didn't care about this woman who died today. Maybe she didn't pray enough?

reminds me actually.  I passed a woman pretty early on yesterday (around 3k).  She was in her 40s, looked the part (had all the cool running gear etc) yet her breathing sounded absolutely terrible like she was having an asthma attack or something.  another woman asked her if she was ok and she said 'yeah i'm fine etc'.  I've no idea how she got on or if she even finished it, but surely if you're body is reacting that badly then listening to it and stopping is ftw?

nah, not necessarily. some people have breathing that sounds abs terrible when running but aren't in any sort of trouble
