	london marathon
		Seven cardiac deaths have been reported in the London Marathon: five from severe coronary heart disease – in 1991, 1994, 1995 1997 and 2003 –; and two with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM, a chronic disorder affecting the heart muscle) – in 1990 and 2001.
		If the fit was an unlikely event, precipitated by running the Marathon, it could legitimately be blamed on the race; however, without knowing the frequency of the fits, whether or not the man had taken his medication and other factors, the culpability of the Marathon is indirect.
		A claim was made in the press that the Marathon caused his death, and it is conceivable that a lingering biochemical or endocrine effect of prolonged exertion precipitated a fatal cardiac arrhythmia.

		The marathon rewards tryers and if you can prove that you have entered and been rejected five times since and including 2001 (and the marathon will have records of this) you will get automatic entry on your sixth attempt - but you'll have to contact them to let them know.
		The London Marathon email newsgroup and the Runner's World magazine online Forum are also great places to discuss your training and ask for advice on all sorts of wierd and wonderful matters including which socks to run in, whether you should train while exercising your canine friends and much more practical stuff too.
