What Ultra-Endurance Events Teach Us about Being Empowered Patients
Last weekend I ran the Old Pueblo 50 Mile race, a trail ultrarunning event. As you might imagine, 50 miles gives you a big window of opportunity for reflection. As you also might imagine, 50 miles on technical trails gives you a big window of opportunity for injury and illness. I witnessed, experienced, discussed and heard about all of these things through the weekend. You know what? Ultras can teach us a lot about how to be empowered patients.
