This is purely hypothetical, but how would you react if your doctor diagnosed you with a heart defect that could be fatal with continued training? Specifically, if he actually gave you an assessment of the risk of fatality, at what percentage would you hang up the spikes?

>=10%. It is not worth taking the risk of die for a hobby. Unless I can medal in Olympics, then, it would be 50% at most.
1%

Isn't this about the same statistical likelihood that you'll die in an automobile accident someday if you drive the average amount? Or are you aware of that, so you don't drive?
Do 1% of all drivers die from car accidents? I don't think so.
I would keep running cause its who i am, and if you die, you die doing what you were made to do.

No. You die doing what you were made to die with... which is stupid. Ryan had checked and assured (false) safty for him to continue to run. That is different.
