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!

I suspect you either love him or hate him, but for me he’s a great athlete amongst other descriptions and I’m a fan.

Likewise. And the teens who shouted the above at me whilst out running a few months ago.

From the little I've seen of him he seems like a bit of a tool, but I wouldn't say so to his face. I get the idea of doing hard things, but he takes it to such extremes that it's detrimental to his health and isn't a great example to normal people.

He seems to flog plenty of books, though, so what do I know.

His 4*4*48 looks pretty tame compared to F'Laps ;-)

Was a legend of Badwater I believe. Not sure what other ultra pedigree he has. Probably either none or absolutely spoonfuls.

He also started the Goggins 4x4x48 (misnomered?) challenge whereby I think you run 4miles every 4hours for 48hours.

Someone at my old club absolutely loved him.
