Personal:

I started more dedicated running and racing in my thirties.  Eventually I developed symptomatic bradycardia and SVT which required a cardiac pacemaker implant and a cardiac cath ablation.  It has taken a long time to get back to running consistently again.  Counting my blessings and trying to remain more balanced with fitness.

To mimic a long run I did the following brick workout: Spinning 20 min + TM: Easy 1mi, PMP 6 mi (6:49 avg) +  Spinning 20 min + TM: PMP 3 mi (6:49 avg), Easy 3 mi.  Water and sodium caps only because I was sweating like a pig.  Probably kidding myself, but I still might run a marathon in 3 weeks.  Won't be sending in the entry fee until the last minute!
