Is Running Good and Bad for Your Heart?


Listen Later

We’ve all heard stories about runners who’ve collapsed during a race from a heart issue. The question is, are these instances a statistically anomaly or does training hard actually increase our risk of heart issues?

Dr. Erin Michos, Associate Professor of Medicine within the Division of Cardiology at Johns Hopkins, is on our show today to answer…

  • Who is at risk for a cardiac event while running?  
  • How much running is good for your heart? Is there such a thing as too much? Are marathoners and ultra runners at a higher risk for cardiac events?
  • Are women’s hearts different than men’s?
  • Why some runners seem to have higher heart rates when running than others. What are the signs and symptoms of a problem with our hearts?
  • What other nutritional guidelines should athletes follow for heart health?

This week’s show brought to you by Magnesium Breakthrough from Bioptimizers. 

Supplementing with magnesium before you go to bed has been shown in scientific studies to…

  • Increase in muscle oxygenation during high intensity exercise
  • Reduce inflammation 
  • Significantly improve sleep quality
  • Improve aerobic exercise capacity when training.

When you’re looking for a magnesium supplement, make sure you take one that is organic and has all 7 unique forms of magnesium. 

My recommendation is Magnesium Breakthrough from Bioptimizers because it’s made with the highest quality, organic magnesium and contains all 7 critical forms. Most other magnesium supplements are synthetic and only contain one or two forms of magnesium, which is simply not enough.

For an exclusive offer go to magbreakthrough.com/runtothetop and use code run10 to save 10% when you try Magnesium Breakthrough. Plus, they offer a full refund up to one year after your purchase, no questions asked.
