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 started wearing calf guards as part of my recovery from a L3 tear. We never know "what would have happened if" but I have noticed a big reduction in DOMS and stiff calves. It may be a placebo in conjunction with improved fitness but whatever, I'm sticking with it!

I'm a convert. It helps with cramp on long runs (and races), and also with recovery.

Got something to say?
