Last time such news are rare. Nowadays its very common to hear of running deaths of healthy young people. Not sure why. Or is it that last time also have but somehow 'forgotten' to report?
What does the medical experts have to say?
the majority has a perception of 'the more the better'
as a result they chiong and chiong. because they are young and naturally stronger, they don't feel much of a diff when they exceed their safe limit. and so everything just gives way suddenly when they tried to push again.
in the context of sports science, there's a training princple which is 'progressive overload' and this refers to training beyond threshold levels but within safety limits. obviously these people who died has crossed that limit.
