Jenny Simpson

Jenny Simpson is a three-time Olympian and Olympic medalist, described as one of the most decorated American middle-distance runners of her generation. In June she collapsed at a community mile race with no pulse and was resuscitated after more than twenty minutes of CPR. Eight weeks later, in her first public conversation about the event, she spoke with Rich Roll about the inherited heart condition no one knew she had and the journey back to health.
