Aaron was running 6:25 per-mile pace or faster. He was on target for a 2:48 marathon, which would have been a 17-minute PR from the previous year’s CIM race.
But because of a freak medical incident brought on by rhabdomyolysis, Aaron never made it to the finish line. He suffered a cardiac arrest and collapsed near the 26-mile mark, lost consciousness and stopped breathing. Rhabdomyolysis is a condition in which skeletal muscle tissue breaks down from intense physical exertion and releases proteins and electrolytes (such as potassium) into the bloodstream.
Rhabdomyolysis is very common, but it usually presents as muscular soreness in the hours and days after intense physical exertion, said Dr. Katren Tyler, Clinical Professor of Emergency Medicine at University of California, Davis, who was the acute care director for the race.
“There is nobody who has run a marathon who hasn’t had some small component of rhabdomyolysis,” Tyler said. “Getting such severe rhabdo in only three hours and being severe enough to give you cardiac arrest is very unusual.”
“This kind of thing rocks you,” Abbott said. “He was well-prepared for this event. He went out and trained his butt off and was executing a masterful race and was running 6:20 miles right up to the moment he collapsed. Sometimes when you see cardiac arrests in a race, there are underlying health conditions there. You find out later there were clogged arteries and that kind of thing could have happened mowing the lawn or anywhere. But this is a case that rocks a lot of people because it’s almost like getting struck by lightning.”
The use of alcohol or illegal drugs such as heroin, cocaine or amphetamines Extreme muscle strain, especially in someone who is an untrained athlete; this can happen in elite athletes, too, and it can be more dangerous if there is more muscle mass to break down. The use of medications such as antipsychotics or statins, especially when given in high doses A very high body temperature(hyperthermia) or heat strokeSeizures or delirium tremens A metabolic disorder such as diabetic ketoacidosis Diseases of the muscles (myopathy) such as congenital muscle enzyme deficiency or Duchenne's muscular dystrophy Viral infections such as the flu, HIV, or herpes simplex virus Bacterial infections leading to toxins in tissues or the bloodstream (sepsis)
A previous history of rhabdomyolysis also increases the risk of having rhabdomyolysis again.
因为大脑缺氧至今昏迷不醒。祈祷他早日康复！

本来想下次跑马玩命跑，这下又不行了，bq不了都怪你！
到底什么叫“聆听你的身体”？
有些人，稍微有点酸痛就哎哟哟；
有些人，尿都茶色了还不减量。哈哈哈。
