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!

Notes & Comments

Right lets get this out of the way. A personal WORST over 2 hours! Feeling comfortable at 7.50 minutes per mile at 3 miles then pins and needles in both feet strikes. This is something I've always had in races on and off but never this bad and usually towards the end. tried to run through it but couldn't feel feet at all and shooting pains through my legs. eased of the pace which usually helps but it didn't so I stopped and stretched legs, in tears as so frustrated. Literally limped to water station at mile 5 and waited for my Mum - a teary hug helped and although I wanted to drop out decided to run with mum - managed to hold on to Mum till 9 1/2 miles at which point she kicked and I couldn't i was giving it all I had just to keep going. Sniveling i trudged on to the end - I gave it everything I had but was 20 minutes slower than I wanted. Gutted beyond belief. Going to have to get the pins and needles sorted before i race again. Too frustrating to train this hard and race so hard for nothing.

oh no, poor you, you must feel awful, I feel for you. With all that training under your belt too :-( Still, it will all be stored up for your next race x

Yes - I'm scared because it's a problem that seems to be getting worse and I can't run a marathon with it!!!

Katy, I'm so sorry :-( but you finished, you didn't quit. We'll sort out this issue and get you fit and racing again soon.

Ask on Fetch here on the Talk (Clinic) section. I bet someone else has had the same problem and knows ways to treat/help.
Kew
Yes did that after Tadley X Country Justin as it had been so bad there too. Got quite a few different answers. Lots to consider

** My Dad said it might be "mental" thanks dad!
JPK
You are 'mental', but I don't think that's the cause ;)
Please wait... saving your change.
