Episode 66 with Mireia Peláez Puente: Is running good for a runner's heart?
Episode 66 of Runnea Podcast, of this fourth season and it was time to delve into a very interesting topic for all runners. Today we talk about cardiovascular problems and more specifically about myocardial infarction. Does the practice of running put our health at risk, or what it does is strengthen our heart? How to know if we are suffering a heart attack? What are the causes, common and less known? The news of myocardial infarction that has suffered a major elite athlete as Iker Casillas, current goalkeeper of Porto FC has ignited the alarms and we will try to put them out...
This week visits Runnea Podcast Mireia Peláez Puente, PhD in Physical Activity and Sport Sciences, and professor at the European University of the Atlantic. In our instructive talk with Mireia we try to dot the i's and cross the t's to know, first hand, the influence that the act of running has on our heart, especially when one of our goals is to run the mythical distance of the marathon.
Is the popular runner's heart ready to run a 42k? Can running be one of the great enemies of heart disease? Can a stress test be enough to detect whether or not we are ready to run? These are some of the questions that Mireia Pelaéz, doctor in CCAFYD, tries to answer, while pointing out a series of recommendations to enjoy the pleasure of running. And it is one of the most frequent mistakes that many popular runners make, and it is paradoxical: We do not hesitate to invest in Running shoes of 170€ -remember that the most expensive do not have to be the best-, and yet we are more reluctant to spend them on a stress test, to invest in health.
A podcast that invites reflection, and also to lay a good foundation to avoid greater evils, and run with maximum guarantees. It is clear that running and health go hand in hand.
