Olympic Medalist Jenny Simpson On Her Sudden Cardiac Arrest After A Race & The Journey Back To Health
Jenny Simpson, a three-time Olympian and Olympic medalist in middle-distance running, sat down with Rich Roll eight weeks after collapsing at a community mile race. She had no pulse and required more than twenty minutes of CPR before being revived. The cause was an inherited heart condition that no one had known she had. The conversation covers the collapse on June 16th, the five days she cannot remember and what those days were actually like, and the early stages of her return to health.
