Episode 23: Heart Attack Thriver and Ultra Runner Ian Morgan shares his Heart Attack Journey
This week on T.H.A.T I was in conversation with Ian Morgan @ian.morgan about the heart attack he suffered 7 years ago at the age of 46.
Ian is an Ultra Runner who has an extensive family history that included a sister who has had 2 heart attacks.
Ian describes himself as being overweight before his event of the heart and living with a lot of stress that stemmed from a difficult divorce and an earthquake that impacted him financially.
Ian’s memory is vague on exactly what happened but was told his EKG was normal, but his troponin levels were super high. The next day he was sent to a cardiac centre where it was discovered that he had 2 arteries blocked.
To quote Ian “your second life begins when you realize you only have one”.
Ian has completely transformed himself through running and healthy lifestyle choices and having the love and support of his partner Fran @frangibar
