    Sounds like a good option. Very good luck. Having a sound heart that can be ablated successfully is one of your rewards for being a runner.
    Begin afresh, afresh, afresh.

    Rob Baker (top fell runner from Dark Peak) had Fibrillations, starting after he'd come second at the Dragon's back in 2012 (not sure if there was a link between the two!) He had an ablation a few years back. He now lives in Australia and, whilst racing and training again isn't back to where he was before (2:26 marathon...) but still better than most!

    booked in for something called "cardioversion" on 20th March

    basically, they're going to try turning me off and on again - the doc even used the phrase "hard reset"(!)

    sounds "interesting" but apparently a common/safe procedure that pretty much always puts your heart back into normal rhythm, but there's no way of telling how long it will stay like that...
