In this episode, Coach Brian Yates from New York’s Capital District shares his heart attack journey and how it has shaped him, his career as a Coach and as a Ph.D. student who is working on his disertation research, focusing on endurance athletes who have suffered an acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI)

Coach Brian suffered a NSTEMI in July of 2022 just a few weeks after completing an IRONMAN 70.3 

(an NSTEMI means an non-ST elevated Myocardial Infarction (heart attack).   This happens when you have a significant blockage but it is not blocked 100%.  The heart attack I suffered almost 10 years ago was a STEMI as I had a 100% blockage of the left Circumflex Artery)

Brian has returned to training for the 2026 racing season.
