Glad to hear that it was "highly unlikely to be dangerous", @larkim , as 'paroxysmal tachycardia' does sound a bit scary!

Was very surprised tbh that a consultant would write that, but Latin names for things always sound bad!!

Most science terms are Greek. They were smart dudes.

Brady is Greek meaning slow. Tachy means fast. Kardia is heart in Greek, that becomes latinized to cardia. So tachycardia means fast heart rate. Etymology is fascinating. Quite meta : the etymology of etymology = etymos (true/actual) + logia (study of). Nice link to Latin and Greek roots in English: oakton.edu |

A quick Google earlier suggests generally conditions and diseases are greek, body parts are Latin. Etymology is indeed fascinating. Feel a bit daft I'd not spotted the greek though, I'm usually sharp on that sort of stuff! Misled by the cardia bit I think! |

16:42.2 for 5000 today. Group of three for my pack, slightly faster than 16:40 pace to start 3:18 (Fetch splits). One guy took off at 1200 and was going too fast to consider following at that point. 2000 was in 3:21. At 6 laps gone, I felt fairly comfortable and the other guy was slowing so took it on. Kms 3 and 4 (3:23, 3:21) hide a slight pick up then slow down as solo laps started to bite. Finished with a 3:18 and a 75 last lap, made sure I finished strong as hopefully that's something the legs will remember when it's hurting next time. Another 5000 coming on Wednesday, expecting the field to be a bit more dense so hoping that's one where I can sit in a pack maybe even past 3000. |
