Sage Canaday hospitalized in Boulder with a pulmonary embolism

He might have a high copay or deductible or both, but hoka won't let him be on debt like that. I'm sure they'll at least do some sort of 60/40, 50/50 match with him. He probably has to ask for it, but they won't leave him dryed out like that. Deckers is doing pretty well.

Hopefully he pulls thru.

Let's see if they get married after this one. Hoka will buy the ring too, guarantee it 😇🍾 I envision an intimate wedding near some mountain lake. An ultra baby is good for the sport.

My doctor told me 15 miles/week is the sweet spot for general fitness, ideally 5 runs of 3 miles. Each additional mile beyond that provides far less health benefits than the first 15, and at some point it actually becomes counterproductive. Any additional time should be spent hiking or weightlifting.

Not to mention lots of runners eat like shyte - Sage Canaday is always pounding down beers, tubs of Ben and Jerry's, margarine, etc.

your doctor knows nothing

Did your doctor cite any research? Honestly I think that too much exercise can be a detriment to general long-term health? But 3 miles 5 times a week? That's not even 30 minutes per day for many people. That's like what I'm used to hearing as the bare minimum from public service announcements and such. Certainly the optimum is above that?

AFAIK the jury is very much still out on the "running lots is bad for you" conclusion.

Probably more recent data

Sage probably had Covid. We know the tests are far from 100 percent. Blood clots are very common with Covid. Could be from a left over infection.

If you’re ever hospitalized in an inpatient psych ward like me the insurance companies don’t want you in there too long because it gets expensive very very quickly. The psych ward will sometimes let you work out. Sometimes the psych ward treadmill only goes up to 7.0mph for safety reasons (which was a major disappointment), but most psych wards don’t allow patients access to a treadmill at all so be grateful. It wasn’t all bad though: I was able to make $500 by participating in a study to have a brain MRI done.

I wish Sage a quick and healthy recovery.

I think that veganism in general is healthy but that it is not an optimal way to provide nutrients to your body, long term, and with this in mind I think that periods of time in which Sage could switch to a flexitarian diet, incorporating limited amounts of animal products, would be beneficial for him and for his overall health. You can still be fundamentally plant-based with limited amounts of animal products.

Once again, wishing Sage very good recovery.

I wish him well. I had a PTE after my bypass and ended up on anti-coagulants for years. That's bad news if you are out running or cycling somewhere remote and you have a fall.

Sage, I hope you get well soon. So glad they caught it in the end. I still think it was linked to the plogging from what you described - the waterfall of bad water. Get well soon.

Blood clotting is a known side effect of UK Astra Zenica vaccine. It looks like it may well be a possibility in US vaccines too. Maybe long term he will be able to get compensation from US government.

Sage, here's to a speedy and full recovery. I would suggest that you use your downtime to figure out the most likely cause(s) and then take steps to prevent that cause in the future. Or, if it can't be completely eliminated, figure out what you can do to reduce the risk of it reoccurring.

As you are doing this, keep in mind that the traditional medical system doesn't really know what to do with people like us who don't want to just be "not sick," we want to be in optimal health.

The RDA of vitamins, for example, is based on what the average person needs to stay "not sick." If you aren't doing so already, you should look into what science and research say about nutrition and vitamins for athletes. Just to be clear, I'm not saying that vitamins are a miracle cure. I'm saying that your exercise routine puts a LOT of stress on the body and the immune system.

I don't know your diet so I can't comment on it. I will say that a lot of foods in the western diet are inflammatory and that inflammation increases the risk of virtually all diseases.

You're young and you can beat this, but don't just beat it... learn from it. I don't know what you'll learn, but it's your journey. There's a lesson there. Find it.

Sending healing thoughts for a full recovery.

Ask your doctor about the research he has carried out.

I wish you a speedy and full recovery so you can get back to doing what you love to do ASAP.

The debate on "how much running is too much running" has been going on for decades. Both sides of the argument have merit.

The best way to visualize this risk is to think of the curve of risk as a ski jump. At the top of the jump where people are sedentary, the health risk is very high. As people start exercising or in this case, running, the health risk drops significantly. At the lowest point, somewhere between 12 and 30 miles per week, the risk is lowest. (The exact number is ballpark and varies based on the individual.) As mileage increases above 30mpw, risk begins to climb slightly, just like the end of a ski jump, but it is still FAR LOWER than for their non-exercising sedentary peers.

There are two takeaways from this example. 1. Risk is MUCH higher for sedentary people than for runners, regardless of mileage. 2. Higher mileage does increase risk, but these risks can be offset somewhat with a good diet and supplements.

This is serious, but I am hoping Sage being an athlete will give him an advantage in recovery.

Pulling for you, Sage!

I've been holding off the vaccine to see what it does to serious runners and because I have antibodies left from having Covid (very mild case) and he is just the latest in vaccine scares that I've observed. I've seen weeks of elevated heart rate, POTS, nerve damage and blood clots. All in extremely healthy, serious runners who decided to get the vaccine. At this point, you couldn't pay me to get it.

Agree there are some scary vaccine side effects out there luckily rather rare. I also had COVID and for me COVID actually caused me nerve damage. It damaged my cranial nerve. Months of debilitating dizzyness, ocular migraines, no smell, trigeminal nerve pain and weakness in neck and when swallowing. All these function relate to the cranial nerve. So vaccines can do bad things sometimes but COVID much more so.

I had the vaccine 13 months after COVID and zero issues.

Also forgot to add: Get better soon Sage!

Good grief...man that's quite a thing.

Good luck to you Sage Canaday!

Veganism has nothing to do. He got Pfizer vaccine one month ago... Get well soon Sage
