RE: On the very low risk of dying from running a marathon
What surprised me was the relatively low risk overall.
I need to look more at what types are more likely to die. My working theory is actually the opposite - it's the experienced runner on for a pb ignoring the warning signs!
No surprise that men are twice as likley than women.

That actually makes sense too. I was thinking with the weekend warrior type that they would be more likely jar loose some artery plaque and cause a blockage. But yeah pushing through the "pain" could also be a issue. Like you mentioned in your article you experienced a weird feeling yourself while pushing it.
'Jar loose artery plaque'.... not sure if that's how fitness regimes work!
Interesting turn of phrase. Never heard that one before!
