But just behind this vibrant scene, there is an untold tragedy
A 30-year-old runnerHis face was filled with the joy of running the whole race, but on the way home, he suddenly fainted, suffered cardiac arrest, and finally died tragically.
This incident is like a heavy wake-up call, highlighting the fragility of life in the dynamic sport of marathon.
This is not an isolated incident.
Similar reports have been reported on marathons around the world, making the "sudden marathon death" a topic that is reluctant to mention but has to be paid attention to.
These runners, their love of life and their passion for running, are so abundant and sincere.
However, when life slips away silently on the road after the end, it is left with endless pain and unanswerable questions from relatives and friends: Why are runners who can run half or even full marathon unable to detect underlying heart problems in their own body reactions?
In Runner'In an article from sworld, experts uncover a corner of this mystery.
They point out that most runners tend to focus on the role of "maximum heart rate" in running and fitness, while ignoring an equally important metric – resting heart rate (RHR).
Resting heart rate, as the name suggests, is a quiet state of being awake and inactiveThe number of heartbeats per minute
Dr. Brian Mikolasco, medical director of the Warren Alpert School of Medicine at Brown University, noted in an interview: "In general, it is normal for a person to have a resting heart rate between 60 and 100 beats per minute.
However, this number is not fixed.
In fact, the normal range for resting heart rate is influenced by a variety of factorsIncluding age, health, environment, and lifestyle
For examplePeople who stick to aerobic exercise such as running for a long time have a more robust and efficient heart, so their resting heart rate is usually lower than that of people who don't exercise regularly.
Some regular endurance athletes, such as long-distance runners, swimmers, cyclists and triathletes, may have a resting heart rate of only 38 to 42 beats per minute.
Such a resting heart rate may be common in athletesBut for the average person, it may be an abnormal signal, or even a sign of bradycardia.
Although low resting heart rate is common in athletes, it doesn't mean that all low heart rates are harmless.
Dr. Roberts provides a clear explanation, saying, "Training increases the volume of the heart, which can be used to pump more blood out of the body each time it contracts."
to support the body for strenuous exercise.
But when the training stopped,or when the individual is no longer engaged in regular endurance training, the resting heart rate of the heart will also be reversed.
This phenomenon has made us realize that even the healthiest heart needs constant attention and appropriate adjustments.
So, how do you monitor and understand resting heart rate? Resting heart rate isn't just a number, it's a combination of physical condition, training effectiveness and health risks.
Emily Abbett,An experienced fitness instructor, sharing her insights.
"By measuring the resting heart rate each morning, we can see if the athlete is recovering enough from the previous day's training or if they need more rest and recovery," she says.
It's a simple yet effective way to help athletes avoid overtraining and ensure their heart health.
However,Resting heart rate monitoring isn't just about tracking numbers
It is a form of self-careIt is the respect and cherishing of life.
When we run on the marathon course, every heartbeat is a love and yearning for life.
But while pursuing speed and endurance, we also need to listen to the voice of the heart and feel its rhythm and change.
Only in this way can we truly run towards health and a richer and more wonderful life.
In this story, every runner is the main character.
Their stories tell us that whether it is on the marathon track or in the journey of life, heart health is an important topic that we cannot ignore.
By understanding and monitoring our resting heart rate, we can not only improve our athletic performance, but alsoIt is better to grasp every precious momentand enjoy every good run.
Heartbeat alarm bells "should not be a source of fear and sadness, but a strong call to inspire us to care for ourselves and value others."
With gratitude and respect, let's listen to our inner voice and feel our heart beating.
Because in every beat, there is the power and hope of life.
