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 Arguably my finest ever race - certainly when I was at the absolute peak (so far) of my fitness and only weeks before it all fell apart for nearly three years. I was a little tired having run a PB in a five mile race the fours days earlier, but I was light at 67kg and running superbly - aided by 130 miles a week of cycling. But there was a caveat, the pain in my left shin which had bothered me since the marathon in April was becoming a concern, I put some Noene insoles in my racing trainers to try and ease the cushioning. 
The quality of the field was high, I raced with the top woman runner in the area - I think I just outsprinted her in the end and I gained a best by over 6 minutes (my fastest ever mile average for a race too at 5:39), finished 29th overall  and achieved a time I am yet to get a minute near to. 
Alas the pain in the shin was diagnosed a month later as a compartment syndrome and 18 months after that as a stress fracture too which took an operation and an inordinate length of time to recover from.
