Lizzie: Pushing the limits of ARVC/Heart Disease

See this content in the original post

I first interviewed Lizzie in 2020 when we was diagnosed with rare heart condition called AVRC. It's genetic condition that effects the muscle in your heart and makes it turn into scar tissue the harder you work the muscle. In short, it means running can kill you. We chat again about how she's learned to live with it and how far she can push. 

Lizzie found running in her mid 20's and quickly fell in love. It became a huge part of her life as she began winning races and spending her weekends adventuring. She even met her now husband when they shared the podium together at a 50km.
