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!

Go-KL One year on from the last race I did and so much had changed. I was traveling the world as part of the F1 circus. In May I finally had my double anterior and posterior compartment syndrome operation, which was a success but required a slow and patient recovery. This though I was happy to do, as apart from the pain from the scar tissue breaking up - the operation was a success. By August I was running regularly as demanded by the doctors but I had another problem - an overactive thyroid which made it initially impossible to exercise and then very difficult when I was prescribed with rev-limiting beta-blockers. Still I was happy to be running and by November the thyroid was setting down nicely and I decided to run this race as a fitting comeback race. Wearing a huge neoprene calf strap to help protect the shin I set off much as I did the year before and was even able to run a 6:30 mile. By 8 though the general lack of fitness and an awareness that I didn't want to push my luck caught up with me and I sauntered in to run my third slowest ever half marathon - but in many ways the most satisfying one.
