Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Vixx - haha. I’m too old to do a massive streak - I’ll be 63 by the time I get to a year, if I keep going that long

boooooo - reminds me that injury stopped me on day 364 :-(

I have managed to get back to a few 6 day streaks but for the foreseeable I will keep one rest day per week

Frustrating Garfield :-(

I am back running and have built up to 45mpw (down from about 70 pre injury) and 6 days per week. I have a long term issue which I believe is the cause and I hadnt kept on top of it. I reckon I am back on top of it and its manageable.

I am still seeing the physio which has cost a lot of money and to be honest I am not sure about this physio. Yes they have helped but could they have done

more ? I keep thinking tey will say crack on and come back if required but then find myself agreeing to a follow up appointment. I am due back next week but thinking about making an excuse and cancelling then if I need to see a physio, try another one. I could then use the money for a sports massage which I think will be more beneficial.

Problem is I have put on weight and lost fitness and running really is hard work right now.

I doubt if I will get back to long term streaking, but at least I am running :-)

A second opinion might be helpful to see if they have any other suggestions...and massage. Especially if you've been parting with a lot of money and aren't sure about your current physio.

Hibeedeb, I started my 1207 day streak a week after my 65th birthday. Just a warning.

I think it was piriformis. Lots of things going on though.

I have a misaligned pelvis after a heavy fall many years ago and it’s never been right since.
