Are Endurance Athletes Heart Healthy
Endurance athletes are often assumed to be heart healthy but that's not always the case. It's important for athletes to know their family history, get regular screenings, and be an advocate for themselves with their doctor. In our very first podcast interview, endurance athlete, Pat Ross, shares his story of how he discovered his own heart issues and how he's adapted his training and goals.
