James Middleton Collapses Near Half Marathon Finish

James Middleton, an online fitness coach and social media personality, was recently hospitalized after collapsing during a half marathon. The incident occurred shortly before he was set to cross the finish line. Middleton reported experiencing severe exhaustion and an extremely high body temperature of 107 degrees Fahrenheit. He has no memory of parts of the event, including being in an ice bath for 20 minutes to cool down.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Middleton was diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis, a condition where muscle tissue breaks down rapidly, releasing harmful proteins into the bloodstream that can damage the kidneys. He spent the night under medical care and expressed immense gratitude for the incredible work of the medical team. Looking ahead, Middleton has decided to take a hiatus from racing to focus on his recovery and incorporate yoga into his routine, humorously noting he would avoid trying to 'almost die' for a personal record next time.
