Curiously, Young's and Crippen's heartbeat patterns reversed on takeoff and landing. Both are normally in the 60s. At launch Young's rose only to 85 beats a minute, while Crippen's soared to 135. Returning, Young's pulse rate zipped up to 130 as he flew the craft in. Crippen's stayed around...
...Examiner Larry Lewman in Portland, Ore., offers several possible explanations. The victims may have suffered from sleep apnea, a disorder characterized by halts, usually brief, in breathing during sleep. Or, as Lewman thinks is more likely, there may have been some disturbance in the electrical conduction system that governs heartbeat.

Says he: "A case could be made that the marathon runner is at a decreased risk of cardiovascular death when he is not running, but at an increased risk when he is." So what is a runner to do? Not to worry, says Roberts, who runs five to ten miles...
