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!

Have you ever had to pull out?

Just the one, bit of a Mo Farah 'marathon' type thing really. A 2 lap 10M race. Was injured, but lots of my mates were doing it so started with a plan to just do the 1st lap and then stop at halfway. Followed the plan :) Didn't get paid £250,000 for doing half the race though ;)

Is there a bit of a problem with events like A London marathon? Having been a lucky bleeder to get in to start with, the fact that you have really not prepared for the fact that this particular marathon is more than 26 miles, it is a bit unthinkable not to bother turning up.

Actually, almost nobody gets dragged off on a stretcher from London.

probably should have pulled out of TP100 last week after pulling my groin, but mentally couldn't face 2 DNF's in a row so walked the final 39 miles :)
