“A lot of athletes—especially when things are going really well—the last thing they want to do is take a break, even if their goal race is in the rearview. Trust me on this: You want to take your breaks as seriously as your training. It's much better to take a planned break and be a little grumpy about it at the beginning than be forced to take a break sometime down the road because you're injured, burned out, sick, overtrained, whatever it may be. I see this all the time, not only with athletes that I work with but people who reach out to me with questions, and people I train with—when things are going good, you want to keep them going, but we're human beings. It doesn't matter how experienced you are, how good you are, we all need breaks. You need breaks to absorb training, you need breaks to shut things down mentally as much as physically, especially if you're someone who's doing hard workouts and long runs and always building toward the next goal. That takes a lot of mental and emotional energy—you can't be on all the time, you've got to shut it off.” This week on the podcast I'm answering listener questions in the second Ask Mario Anything episode of 2021. (You can check out the first one here.) On the other side of the mic for this one—once again—is sponsorship director, Chris Douglas. We got some good questions about about me running Boston in the fall, the importance of taking breaks in training, the controversy around Timothy Olson's recent FKT on the PCT, channeling my own passion for running into a creative pursuit, what information you should include in your running log, and a lot more. Thank you to everyone who submitted questions and apologies for all the ones I wasn't able to answer in this episode. Got a question for the next Ask Mario Episode? Send it to me here.

Hillary Allen speaks with Kelly Newlon of Real Athlete Diets: "Delicious, performance orientated food for active people"!  On June 1 Timothy Olson will start his attempt on Pacific Crest Trail, and Kelly will be there as part of his crew. For 52 days.  What will that be like?  How can diet support a huge effort like this? “I reach out to a Registered Dietician in order to fill in the holes of my knowledge. And I put in protein powder in almost everything, plus coconut milk for fat, and greens whenever possible, even dried greens like Spirulina which also has protein." “The goal is to run 50 miles a day as many days as possible.” "Flavor fatigue" can be a big part of long efforts - what you want and don't want can change quickly and unexpectedly. "We also have Snickers Bars on the list."

The PCT is one of our 10 Premier Routes for good reasons! It is 2,597 miles long, with 420,880' of vert, passes through 25 national forests and 7 national parks ... and is competitive.   And Timothy has been a top ultrarunner, with two wins at the Western States 100 including a Course Record.  Game on! "When you have an opportunity like this, you take it. You go all in." His byline is "Mindful mountain ultra runner".  On a massive effort that will likely take 52 days, which includes the heat of the Mohave Desert and going over 13,153' Forester Pass all in the first two weeks, and then the likelihood of Fire Closures and re-routes, how will his meditative practice help him cope? "Meditation plays a huge part of my life.  On the PCT, I can go into a place where, 'An FKT would be cool, but that's not why I'm out here'." The Sierra snowpack was at 15% of normal when this podcast was recorded (May 4) - there will be minimal snowpack to contend with, but potentially many fires. Timothy will be using shoes and apparel from the Adidas Parley line - this is important as they are made with intercepted plastic waste. Plastic waste is found everywhere from the deepest seas to the highest mountain ranges; this technology turns plastic into high-performance fabrics.  He will use the Agravic Boa shoe and the Terrex Two Ultra Parley "I like the BOA system. You can be going down a scree field, get some gravel in your shoe, and pop it off and empty it out without tying and re-tying your shoe."

Toto je slovenská, teda dabovaná verzia originálnej epizódy v anglickom jazyku 34 - Jason Koop - On coaching, ultrarunning scene and training approach. Nahrávanie tejto epizódy bolo pre nás úplne novým dobrodružstvom. V prvom rade, našim hosťom bol prominentný ultra bežecký tréner Jason Koop. Okrem toho, nahrávali sme samozrejme online na diaľku a v anglickom jazyku. Sme síce s Milošom staré korporátne krysy, zvyknutí na komunikáciu online v anglickom jazyku, ale toto bola stále výzva. Jason Koop pôsobí ako hlavný tréner pre ultra bežcov v CTS - Carmichael Training Systems. Vo svojej bohatej kariére počas takmer 20 rokov spolupracoval s bežcami ako napríklad Kaci Lickteig, Mike Foote, Timothy Olson, Dakota Jones, a mnohými ďalšími. Sám je aj aktívnym bežcom a na svojom konte má napríklad Badwater 135, Hardrock 100, Leadville Trail 100, Tor des Géants, Wasatch 100, Bear 100 a Western States 100. Našinec na slovensku môže poznať jeho prácu prostredníctvom knihy Základy ultramaratonského tréninku: Jak trénovat chytřeji, závodit rychleji a maximalizovat ultramaratonský výkon (z originálu Training Essentials for Ultrarunning: How to Train Smarter, Race Faster, and Maximize Your Ultramarathon Performance). Tí hladnejší po ultra bežeckom obsahu možno poznajú aj jeho zaujímavý podcast KoopCast. Snažili sme sa z Jasona vytiahnuť maximum toho, čo bolo možné v rámci jeden a pol hodiny stihnúť. Rozprávali sme sa o tom, ako to vyzerá na medzinárodnej scéne, ako sa spolupracuje s elitnými ultra bežcami, či uvidíme ultra disciplíny na Olympijských hrách, ako to bude asi vyzerať s dopingom v ultra behu. Kládli sme naše vlastné otázky, ale nechali sme sa niekoľkými inšpirovať aj od našich poslucháčov v rámci prieskumu. S tak fundovaným trénerom by sme mohli v rozhovore zotrvať dlhé a dlhé hodiny. Ale ak vás zaujíma čokoľvek viac, prečítajte si jeho knihu, vypočujte podcast alebo sa staňte zverencom niektorého z trénerov v rámci spoločnosti CTS, kde Jason Koop šéfuje ultra behu. A je úplne jedno, či ste eliťák, zrelý a skúsený bežec, alebo úplný začiatočník.

This episode is special for us in many aspects. First of all, the guest we humbly interviewed was no one else but the elite ultra running coach Jason Koop. Secondly, our first podcast done in English and remotely. Well, we are seasoned corporate rats, used to English and online communication, but hey, this was a challenge of its own. Jason Koop is the head ultrarunning coach for CTS - Carmichael Training Systems, where he specializes in ultramarathon coaching. He is a coach with rich roster of elite ultra runners on the list, be it Kaci Lickteig, Mike Foote, Timothy Olson, Dakota Jones, and many more, you name them. At the same time, he is an accomplished runner himself, with finishes including Badwater 135, Hardrock 100, Leadville Trail 100, Tor des Géants, Wasatch 100, Bear 100 and Western States 100. In Slovakia and Czech Republic, you might be familiar with his training bible titled Základy ultramaratonského tréninku: Jak trénovat chytřeji, závodit rychleji a maximalizovat ultramaratonský výkon (from the original Training Essentials for Ultrarunning: How to Train Smarter, Race Faster, and Maximize Your Ultramarathon Performance). Or, perhaps, you have stumbled over his podcast KoopCast in you apps. We tried to get the most out of the 1 and a half hour talk. How the scene works, how the cooperation with elite athletes look like, whether we will see ultra running disciplines in the Olympics, if more doping cases will pop up. We tried to dig in the topic as well, with some questions form our listeners, and some of our own as well. For sure, we could spend days discussing with Jason, however, should you be hungry for details, grab the book, find the KoopCast in you podcasting app and/or become the athlete training with one of CTS ultrarunning coaches, whether you are a newbie on trails or a seasoned runner with some aspirations.

Kia ora Whanau. This week, Eugene and Matt have the pleasure of speaking to Jason Koop, the Director of Coaching for Carmichael Training Systems. Jason is one of the premiere coaches in the ultramaraton world, and has coached many professional athletes to high levels of success within the sport. Koop’s roster has included such names as Kaci Lickteig, Dylan Bowman, Mike Foote, Timothy Olson, Jen Benna, Larisa Dannis, Dakota Jones, Missy Gosney, Alex Varner, Ford Smith...Gosh, the list goes on. Jason is known for his ability to convey quantitative data into a qualitative framework, which is especially important when working with athletes that may very quickly get into the weeds when the raw data and technical terms are rolled out (Stand up, Matt Rayment). Jason got his start coaching youth in track whilst himself a teen. Jason not only talks the talk, his personal ultrarunning resume includes two top-10 finishes at the Leadville Trail 100 Run and finishes at some of ultrarunning’s most formidable events, including the Western States Endurance Run, the Badwater 135, the Wasatch 100, and the Hardrock 100. Currently Jason is preparing for Tor de Geants, a 330-plus kilometre self-supported race in Italy’s Aosta Valley. In this conversation we discuss Koop’s upcoming TDG attempt, Relative Perceived Effort, The Hierarchy of Needs for Ultramarathon Runners and the joy of running with dogs. We coined the term “Rigby Perceived Effort” and also discuss food, cycling, and why the state of mental grit is as important as cardiovascular health. As well as Jason’s excellent conversation, this episode sees Matt and Eugene excitedly back together behind the mic, wondering, after two weeks of tours and live shows, why there is no applause. We have all the regular goodness, Stuff You Should Know, Greatest Run Ever and Queen Ruth Croft’s continued domination of Europe. Enjoy!!!!!!!!

Getting Personal: Omics of the Heart

Jane Ferguson:                Hello and welcome to Getting Personal: Omics of the Heart, your podcast from Circulation: Genomic and Precision Medicine. I'm Jane Ferguson from Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and this is episode 27 from April 2019.                                            This month, I talk to Riyaz Patel, the first author on not one, but two articles published this issue, presenting analyses from the GENIUS-CHD consortium. But before we get to the interview, let's review what else was published this month.                                            First up, we have a paper from Tamiel Turley, Timothy Olson and colleagues from the Mayo Clinic, entitled Rare Missense Variants in TLN1 Are Associated With Familial and Sporadic Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection. In this study, the authors were interested in identifying novel susceptibility genes for spontaneous coronary artery dissection or SCAD, which predominantly affects young women who appeared otherwise healthy. They conducted whole exome sequencing in a family with three affected family members and found a rare missense variant in the TLN1, or talin 1, gene. This gene encodes the talin protein which is part of the integrin adhesion complex linking the actin cytoskeleton to the extracellular matrix. This gene and protein is highly expressed in coronary arteries. They went on to sequence additional sporadic cases of SCAD, and they found additional talin 1 variants in these individuals. While there was evidence for incomplete penetrance, these data implicate TLN1 as a disease-associated gene in both familial and sporadic SCAD.                                            The next paper comes from Miroslaw Lech, Jane Burns, and colleagues from UCSD School of Medicine and Momenta Pharmaceuticals and is entitled Circulating Markers of Inflammation Persist In Children And Adults With Giant Aneurysms After Kawasaki Disease. Kawasaki disease is the most common cause of acquired pediatric heart disease, but disease progression can vary a lot, and it's likely modulated by complex gene-environment interactions. Coronary artery aneurysms occur in about 25% of untreated patients, but early treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin or aspirin reduces the risk for these aneurysms to 5%, suggesting an important role for inflammation. In this study, the authors applied shotgun proteomics, transcriptomics, and glycomics on eight pediatric Kawasaki disease patients at the acute, subacute, and convalescent time points. They identified inflammatory profiles characterizing acute disease which resolved during the subacute and convalescent time points, except for in the patients who went on to develop giant coronary artery aneurysms. They went on to carry out proteomics on nine Kawasaki disease adults with giant coronary artery aneurysms and matched healthy controls, and they confirmed the inflammatory profiles in the adult samples.                                            In particular, calprotectin, which is composed of S100A8 and S100A9, was elevated in the plasma of patients with CAA, an association they confirmed in additional samples of pediatric and adult Kawasaki disease patients and healthy controls. These data suggest that calprotectin may serve as a biomarker of ongoing inflammation in Kawasaki disease patients following acute illness, and may be able to identify individuals at increased risk of aneurysms.                                            Next up, we have a research letter, Heart BioPortal: An Internet-of-Omics for Human Cardiovascular Disease Data, from Bohdan Khomtchouk, Tim Assimes, and colleagues from Stanford University. They had noticed that, in contrast to the field of cancer research, there were no open access platforms for cardiovascular disease data that offered users the ability to visualize and explore high quality data. They set out to fix this and developed the Heart BioPortal, which is accessible at www.heartbioportal.com. This portal allows the user to integrate existing CDD related omics data sets in real time and provides intuitive visualization and analyses in addition to data downloads. The primary goals are to support gene, disease, or variant-specific request, and to visualize the search results in a multi-omics context.                                            They currently collate gene expression, genetic association, and ancestry allele frequency information for over 23,000 human genes and almost 6,000 variants across 12 broadly defined cardiovascular diseases spanning 199 different research studies. And this is just the start, they're hoping to add more studies, more data, and functionality for querying CDD drug targets, along with lots more. This is a really great resource which will no doubt be of real value to the community. I urge you to go online, check it out, put in your favorite gene, and see what you find.                                            Riyaz Patel, Folkert Asselbergs, and many, many collaborators published Subsequent Event Risk in Individuals With Established Coronary Heart Disease: Design and Rationale of the GENIUS-CHD Consortium and Association of Chromosome 9p21 with Subsequent Coronary Heart Disease Events: A GENIUS-CHD Study Of Individual Participant Data. These papers present the design of the genetics of subsequent coronary heart disease, or GENIUS-CHD consortium, which was established to facilitate discovery and validation of genetic variants and biomarkers for risk of subsequent CHD events in individuals with established CHD. The consortium currently includes 57 studies from 18 countries, recruiting over 185,000 participants with either acute coronary syndrome, stable CHD, or a mixture of both at baseline. All studies collected biological samples and followed up study participants prospectively for subsequent events. Enrollment into the individual studies took place between 1985 to the present day, and the duration of follow-up ranges from nine months to 15 years. Participants have mostly European ancestry, are more likely to be male, and were recruited between 40 to 75 years of age.                                            In their first analysis using these data, they investigated whether the established 9p21 locus associated with subsequent events in individuals with established coronary heart disease. Confirming previous smaller studies, they showed that while genotype at 9p21 is associated with coronary disease when compared to healthy controls, 9p21 genotype is not associated with a risk of future events in people who already have coronary disease. Dr. Patel joins me to tell me more about the GENIUS-CHD consortium and the analyses described in these papers.                                            Today, I'm joined by Dr. Riyaz Patel, who's an associate professor at University College London and a cardiologist at the Barts Heart Centre in London. Dr. Patel, thank you so much for joining me. Dr. Riyaz Patel:                Pleasure to be on, thanks. Jane Ferguson:                So, as we're going to discuss, you are the lead author on two back-to-back publications that were published in Circ Gen this month exploring genetic predictors of coronary heart disease as part of the GENIUS-CHD consortium. Before we delve fully into them, could you tell us a little bit about your background and how you got into this research field? Dr. Riyaz Patel:                Yes. I'm an academic cardiologist, as you know, and I first got into genetics of coronary disease about 12-13 years ago, now, around the time that genome wide association studies were about to take off, or were taking off. I studied, I worked at Emory University, in fact, in Atlanta, in the US. We had a very big cohort of patients who had coronary disease, who were undergoing coronary angiography. At that time, we were doing quite a lot of genetic association studies and biomarker work in patients with heart disease. One of the key problems we often encountered was sort of looking for replication cohorts and trying to do things at a bigger scale than what we had available. So that kind of really was the initial driver for trying to bring together a bigger collaboration to take that sort of work to the next level. Jane Ferguson:                It sounds like you've got valuable expertise, because looking at the author list for these papers, I think it's one of the longest author lists I've ever seen. It's a huge endeavor. I'd love to hear more about how that got started and how you managed to build this consortium, and you know, and tell us what the consortium actually is. Dr. Riyaz Patel:                Yeah, it's been a labor of love. And essentially, I started when I returned back to the UK and we were looking to develop this further. We had already collaborated with several colleagues in the US and abroad from my time at Emory. So, we pulled together a small group of people who we were already working together with and then we did predicts of systematic searches of literature to identify cohorts who were also doing similar things. Again, investigating people with heart disease and looking at subsequent event risk. So, we did that and then we systematically approached, very much, as many people as we could find and over the course of the last, maybe 3 or 4 years, we've brought together a small community of collaborators around the world, and as you rightly said, it's a very long list. In total, we're counting around 180 or so investigators. But, in a way, that also speaks to how this consortium is not just a collection of studies. It is a collection of people and a lot of expertise was brought to the table because of that. People have been thinking about these questions for many, many years and this platform essentially is an opportunity for everyone to share that knowledge. Dr. Riyaz Patel:                So that's kind of how the consortium started and is being pulled together. We operate on a sort of loose memorandum of understanding where every member of the consortium is free to participate in studies as they wish. We run analysis in a federated way which means that [inaudible 00:10:50] scripts are shared and people standardize their data and then they run analyses locally and they only share summary level data so that obviously overcomes the big governance hurdle. So, that's pretty much how the consortium works at moment. Jane Ferguson:                Yeah. I'm sure there was probably a lot of challenges along the way in figuring this out and getting scripts that work for everybody, dealing with all the people, so how do you do this? Do you have regular phone calls with 180 people on it? Do you have lots and lots of emails? Dr. Riyaz Patel:                (laughs) Jane Ferguson:                How's it actually working? Dr. Riyaz Patel:                So, we have a steering committee which is represented by at least one person from each study. So, that limits the number of people down to about, a more manageable number, about 50 or 60. And we do have regular teleconferences, particularly in the early days when we were still pulling everything together. Now, we try and meet at least once a year, if not twice at year at the major conferences, at the European Site of Cardiology and one of the big American meetings, ACC or AHA, so that's usually a good face to face meeting that we have with everyone and then as with all consortia, we have regular email lists and contact through that means. Jane Ferguson:                So, now that you've got everybody together, you have over 185,000 participants as part of this from 18 different countries. So, how have you been able to use all of these different data and harmonize the different phenotypes and sort of put everything together to actually run the analyses. Dr. Riyaz Patel:                The way we started off is by asking everyone to share almost an inventory of what they have collected. We then sought to try and standardize all of the core variables: age, sex, smoking and so forth. Once we were happy about the key variables had been standardized, units were the same and so forth, we then created, effectively a GENIUS-CHD data set that each cohort had curated. So, this was the main way of harmonizing the data set. Now, obviously, there are a lot of other differences between each of these studies. So, we have within the consortium a combination of different studies. We have randomized clinical trials, we have cohort studies, we have nested cohorts from larger population studies and we try and, in all of the analyses, we have pre specified subgroup analyses to try and look out and check for any heterogeneity that is introduced because of all of this. But the biggest, sort of, difference that we have factored in is that each of these studies collects patients with different types of coronary heart disease. Dr. Riyaz Patel:                So, there are about ... 40% or so are acute coronary syndrome recruited patients, where these people are recruited at the time or after their acute event. And a similar proportion are recruited when they're much more stable. So, in all of our analyses we do try and factor in the differences in terms of the type of CHD patients are enrolled with but everything else, as best as we can, we have tried to standardize including all of the outcomes. So, for example, we share the ICD codes that would define a particular type of outcome across all the different cohorts, so even if you're in a different country, they will generally be reasonably well standardized. Jane Ferguson:                Mm-hmm (affirmative), yeah, yeah. I think it's important and I can see the pros and the cons, you know, you have more diversity and you're representing a broader spectrum of disease by including everybody but then, of course, it's hard to figure it out, but I'd say it gives you a lot of versatility with the types of analyses you can do. Jane Ferguson:                As we mentioned, there's two papers so people can go online and read those two papers. And the first one, is sort of the design and goes really into detail of how you guys set this up and I think is a really nice, sort of, example of, if anybody else was trying to (laughs) do something like this, of how to follow it. But then you also did, sort of, an initial analysis, right, to show what this consortium can actually do. I looked at 9p21, so I'd love to hear more about those analyses. Dr. Riyaz Patel:                Yeah, so 9p21 is one of the most reproduced variants with coronary disease across the world. And it's remarkable how well replicated it's been in all sorts of settings in different countries. But the key thing is that it's been associated mostly in case controlled studies or in first event type of studies. And when we looked at this question some years ago now, at whether a variation of chromosome 9p21 is also associated with subsequent events, IE., we could test in people who've already had a heart attack or coronary disease, does it predict a worse outcome for them. We found that it hadn't. Dr. Riyaz Patel:                [inaudible 00:16:06] was in the literature metro analyses and, sort of, all the caveats that come with that. So, we thought that as a feasibility analysis within the consortium, "why don't we also look at 9p21," which we did and this time around, we were able to identify that 93,000 people with coronary heart disease who had our primary endpoint of coronary heart disease death or MI subsequent to other index events. Again, we confirmed our previously met analyses findings that in this particular setting, 9p21 doesn't seem to associate with risk of subsequent events. And that sort of fits with our understanding of 9p21 so far. And interestingly, in one of our analyses, we identified that it does associate with risk of repeat revascularization. And from what we know about 9p21 so far, it seems to associate with risk of atheroma development or progression as opposed to perhaps plaque vulnerability or rupture which might give you an acute coronary event. Dr. Riyaz Patel:                So, it's been a good example, I think, and really an illustration of how this consortium can work at scale. We have a lot of flexibility in terms of different subgroups that we can look at. And we really drilled down in this paper at all the possible reasons why a neutral finding may have occurred. We've looked at selection bias, we've looked at all the different subgroups which was can do because of the scale of the analysis. So, yeah, so that's kind ... it's really, the findings are not particularly novel in their own right but it is a very good example of feasibility of a consortium. Jane Ferguson:                Yeah, I agree. Because it is, so often, if you get, sort of, a negative finding, you keep wondering, "Well, was it just the power? Do we not ... are we not able to find it?" But, I think, with the scale that you have, you're really able to drill down and say, "Look, we really think there's nothing here. It's a true negative finding." You know, 9p21 is not associated with subsequent events, although, I think the revascularization is interesting and that can, sort of, inform, I guess, more basic research into the the mechanisms of 9p21. Dr. Riyaz Patel:                Exactly. Exactly. Jane Ferguson:                So, what's next? I'm sure there's a lot more papers and analyses that are, sort of, to come out of this. So, can you give us, sort of, a sneak peek of what you're working on now? Dr. Riyaz Patel:                Yeah, so, like with 9p21, we did have a selection of variants to answer important questions. So, for example, we were looking at the role of PCSK9 variation to try and see how that relates in this particular setting, given that trials have already reported on the effective drug. And similarly, we're also looking at interlinking six receptor blockade as a, sort of, similar sort of [inaudible 00:19:11] randomization study to look at the validity of a drug target in a secondary prevention setting. Dr. Riyaz Patel:                Beyond that, we are looking at genome wide association studies and, hopefully, once that is done, the consortium will be in a position to do lots of quick look-ups or all sorts of different questions in genetic variation to inform drug target analyses. So, those are immediate priorities, but we are also, in parallel, looking at non-genetic analyses, so, once again, there are lots of standard clinical risk factors that we need to explore a bit more thoroughly in this setting. So as you're aware, there are various paradoxes that keep creeping up in studies where patients have coronary heart disease already, so the obesity paradox is a good example. And what we're hoping to do, is we're hoping to drill down into many of these observational findings in this particular setting, which hasn't really been done, simply again, because the lack of available resources of anything at this scale. Jane Ferguson:                It's exciting and it sounds like you have a really powerful set of different data sets to be able to ask a lot of interesting questions. So, I'm excited to see what's gonna come out next. Dr. Riyaz Patel:                The other key thing we're working on is also about risk prediction. So, again, one of the things we're missing in the clinical community is good risk prediction tools for subsequent event risk among patients with heart disease. We are working with various colleagues to try and develop better risk prediction algorithms for people who've survived coronary event or have coronary disease. Jane Ferguson:                Alright, that's really interesting and that feeds in really nicely then to, sort of, the precision medicine approach. Well, congratulations on building this. I think that's a huge effort in itself and then also in these two papers that were published this month. I think it's really, really, really great work. Dr. Riyaz Patel:                Well thank you. And a key message here is that we want to build and expand this community of investigators around the world who are looking at risk question because individually, I think, we've all struggled with various, sort of, issues. But collectively, I think we have so much more potential to really address some big questions. And the consortium, as I mentioned, is not just investigator led in terms of what we're doing. We're also very open to collaboration and for people wishing to replicate their own findings and are looking for similar cohorts or larger scale validation opportunities so that is also another key advantage in benefit or risk consortium. Jane Ferguson:                Well, that's wonderful. So, if anyone has either data sets that they want to contribute, are you still, sort of, accepting new investigators? Dr. Riyaz Patel:                Absolutely. Very much so. I mean, in the paper, we do mention that we are limited, particularly in terms of cohorts that are enriched for female patients as well as cohorts enriched for patients who are non-Caucasian, in terms of ethnicity. Because, again, those are important patient groups that we need to address. But, generally speaking, we are absolutely open to including anyone who's interested and who meets the inclusion criteria which is collecting people with coronary heart disease, have got genotyping or examples stored for future analysis and have prospective outcomes connected. Jane Ferguson:                And is there a minimum size of sample that somebody needs to participate? Dr. Riyaz Patel:                Ideally, we'd like to, sort of, set that level at about 1,000 recruited patients. But again, if someone has a very deeply phenotyped cohort and that are interested, we'd be more than happy to discuss that and take that to the steering group. Jane Ferguson:                Okay, wonderful. So, people can just email you if they wanna contact- Dr. Riyaz Patel:                Absolutely. Jane Ferguson:                You any further. Dr. Riyaz Patel:                We also have a website, which is for the consortium, which also has contact details on there. Jane Ferguson:                Okay, perfect. Alright, so let me see. Your email is riyaz.patel@ucl.ac.uk- Dr. Riyaz Patel:                Right. Jane Ferguson:                And then the website for the consortium? Dr. Riyaz Patel:                Www.genius-chd.org Jane Ferguson:                Okay. Perfect. Thank you. So, any listeners that are interested, we'll urge them to either go to the website, read some more, go read the papers, email you directly to talk more. Thank you so much for joining me and for talking about this work. Dr. Riyaz Patel:                Thank you for having me. Jane Ferguson:                That's it for April. Come back in May for the next issue. And thank you for listening.                                            This podcast was brought to you by Circulation: Genomic and Precision Medicine and the American Heart Association Council on Genomic Precision Medicine.

I had to put my dog down the other day. I want to tell you about it. It might seem unrelated to introducing today's podcast guest, but it's not. So bear with me.Bodhi was a great dog. Indeed, a prince. But over the last several months, cancer took the upper hand. Tumors filled his left lung until it shut down, diseased cells metastasizing at a horrible pace until the poor guy could barely lift his head, let alone stand up. Stalwart, Bodhi hid his pain well. But it was there; unmistakable and unrelenting. I felt helpless. It’s the humane thing to do. You did the right thing.The words of the kind veterinarian who handled the Kevorkian end of this pyrrhic victory to cease my dog's suffering.I gently cradled his head and locked my eyes with his as the needle sank deep beneath his fur. What followed were my tears as the fragile life force dwindled from his limp body until his beautiful soul had vanished altogether. All the while, my only thought: this doesn't feel like the right thing. In fact, it all feels terribly, horribly wrong.Bodhi is gone.It happens. The heartache that accompanies the short lifespan of man's best friend is the very nature of this relationship. I signed up for it and I accept it. In truth, our golden retriever had a great 12 years with our family – a time we will always cherish and for which I am forever grateful. But that doesn’t mean it doesn't hurt. In truth, it sucks.Bodhi is short for Bodhisattva – the ancient Sanskrit word for enlightened being. One who is motivated by great compassion. A more apt name for this dog does not, could not, exist.I guess the point is, as incredibly trite as this may sound – and it is nothing if not trite – life is short. Life is precious. Life is fleeting. And if one lives life motivated by fear and locked into habits that lead to regression, safety and misery, the precipitous end to that life will be nothing if not a lament to regret and remorse –for the authentic life of the higher self left unlived.We live in our flawed memories of the past. And are experts at projecting outcomes and fantasies onto a future that simply does not (and unlikely will ever) exist. What we rarely do is live in the now. Present in the moment. Experiencing gratitude for the immediacy of what is happening right in front of our very eyes on a second-to-second basis.Why is this so hard for us humans?The answer to this question brings me to today's guest.Timothy Olson.A man who understands and appreciates what it means to fully embrace the present. To live his life in the throes of gratitude. Yes, he runs. Faster, further and wider than most anyone else on Earth. But it's this aforementioned spiritual perspective and journey that defines what this guy — at his core — is truly all about.For the uninitiated, Timothy is an insanely accomplished world reknown ultrarunner. Aside from Kílian Jornet (who we can almost write off as otherworldly), you could make the argument that Timothy is one of the greatest — if not the greatest — ultrarunners on the planet right now.After pulling himself out of a drug-fueled descent into the dark abyss — a journey that left him lost in life, depressed, desperate, incarcerated and on probation — Timothy found not just solace but an entirely new life through running. A path that unfolded a fundamental personal spirituality emanating from hours alone exploring nature on two feet. A journey that led to discovering the transformative power of gratitude. To touching and unlocking a deeper, more meaningful part of himself. And to eclipsing the void beyond the limits of his preconceived physical, mental and emotional capabilities.
