The first time you know someone near your age who dies of natural causes as opposed to accident is the worst...was he doing cardio?...always use a monitor and keep the rate within realistic bounds.

I am so sorry for your loss.  It will be a huge shock for you, especially since your friend passed so suddenly and you weren't expecting it.  Just think of the good times you shared together and try not to think about the fact that you hadn't spoken for over a year.  Hugs

Start getting used to it (if you're young). The older you get (like me and Wes) the more this shit happens.
RIP to your buddy, and sorry for your loss...

yeah it sucks, i came in to the office one morning not expecting anything, everybody has a down face and I ask making a joke... who died?

And it was one of my good work buddies who actually died - same night when I was happily sitting infront of the TV wife snuggled up he had a massive heart attack and died on the spot, young wife with one kid and one on the way found him next morning.

Fucking heart breaking.

Man 31 that's way to young, our condolences. When you find out can you let us know the cause. Many of us are that age and want to know what we can do to prevent such a premature death.

My above post is the reasaon I hate Ubermans fucking guts.

He never knew my friend, and I knew him since grammar school.


Uberman said he was a drug addict and a shitty father, when nothing could have been further from the truth.

That fucker can rot in hell for those remarks as far as I`m concverned....he`s an inconsiderate non compassionate kunt!

marathons are bad news, you save up for a good week by doing nothing and low calories then all of a sudden you shock system with massive calories and massive workouts

everytime someone tells a story of someone dieing its super depressing contemplating death

RIP

You should have steered him away from marathons and towards bodybuilding.  He would still be alive today, even with drugs.  I don't get marathon running at all.  All that work just to be a skinny runt.  I too lost my good friend last year.  We worked together two months earlier and was fine.  All  in all I guess the best way to die is to never see it coming.

Sorry about the loss.  It's never easy but it's definitely hard to get a grip on when the person is young and it occurs unexpectedly.  Found my best friend / occasional lifting partner lying dead on his couch a year a half ago and I still think it's just a bad dream some days.

Why would you post that here? Do you honestly think anyone cares? Do you not have any real friends? I think your post was sadder then the fact that someone just died.

....



I haven't spoken to the guy I considered my best pal for two years. He didn't even say anything nasty to me, I just stopped talking to him one day.



I know we will speak again, in fact I've been telling for ages now that I'll phone him next month. LOL

This puts things into perspective...

Sometimes its unavoidable in the sense of genetics. Some people are so predisposed to a certain disorder that just about nothing will prevent it. Its almost inevitable. I know there is genetic testing that could show how susceptible in terms of percent of having or experiencing certain ailments. I would never want that done. Too scary. But it just goes to show how much we are controlled by our genetics.

I ran some races, still do the smaller ones(10k) and I saw a guy collapse at the Turkey Trot on thanksgiving a few years back. A few years ago a 23 year old died running the half marathon. You'd think in good health shit like that wouldn't happen, but it does. Sorry to hear about your boy.

if you havent spoken to your FRIENDS in a year or two, they are not your friends, ok.  if you are feeling poorly because you are alone, there are plenty of help lines to speak with someone...or go get some pussy.

See!!  This is what I'm talking about, everyone trashes bodybuilders as unhealthy steroid ridden freaks but nobody dares to say anything about marathon running.  Oh no, let's be politically correct and uphold runners as the standard for good health, but the deep dark secret is that marathon running is like playing russian roulette.  When will people rise up and expose this FILT!
