Beth Dobbin has revealed she now spends more than 22 hours a day in bed as she battles myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME).
The 32-year-old, who represented Great Britain at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, told BBC Sport that she wanted to raise awareness of the condition even though the interview itself could set her back for months.
ME is a chronic, fluctuating disease that causes symptoms including sleep problems, pain, difficulties with thinking and memory.
Even everyday activities, such as having a conversation or being exposed to bright lights or loud noises, can trigger a “crash”, with symptoms lasting anywhere from 24 hours to several months.
There is currently no known cure for ME and no specific treatment.

Sifan Hassan has withdrawn from the 2026 NYC marathon.
Not this time, @nycmarathon… 💔
I was so excited to come back stronger, but a sickness slowed down my training and I’m not where I wanted to be. Sometimes, things just don’t go as planned.
Wishing everyone an amazing race in NYC! 🫂💞

Congrats to Chelsea Clinton, she is an example of the amazing positive vibes of @chimarathon !
On a warm and muggy day, Clinton and a friend, Jen Koss, ran relatively even splits, finishing the first half of the race in 1:53:10 and the second in 1:54:45. As usual, her famous parents—former president Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, the former Secretary of State—greeted her at the finish line.

Rory Linklater is an amazing athlete and competitor. Running at elite level ten years, training 4000 miles a year is a prime example of what elite athletes do to race well consistently. A 2:06 marathon does not come easy and the work is cumulative. Consistency is a key to success in our sport!

Please support #BethDobbin
Our thanks go out to @BethDobbin for speaking about her illness to raise awareness, even at the cost of her own health and for describing the impact of ME so vividly. Beth is bed bound for 22 hours a day.

In 1925, when Nurmi toured the U.S. , he raced 55 times from January to May 1925. Just how big was Nurmi in U.S.? My grandfather, 59 years later, wrote me a postcard about my newborn son, Adam and told me about the great Nurmi! Nurmi’s tour was like a rock star today!
