It continued to read “...It takes causes symptoms or requires treatment. Still it's really annoying!!!

 

“It proves I've even pushing as hard as possible for the marathon + if u've been thinking of sponsoring me then surely that will pursuance u? (sic).”

 

He added: “It's nothing to worry about but just means I have to chill out a bit :-/.

 

“Athletes get it though... :-).”
