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!

Clever dogs.

Toks rest is good but your mileage was too low last year. Is 50 miles a week the minimum to prepare for a 100 mile race? It probably is. Hopefully you can get in some long runs too.

I've put your target race in the header Toks. Please let me know if you want it removed or I've got the wrong race. Looking forward to some big mileage weeks (within reason) :-)

the dogs are trained to specific sounds, but new sounds are easily added. I have a cooker timer.....and its the same as they use in costa coffee! so she alerts me every time someones panini is cooked!!!

Huntsman, if you are aiming to complete a 100-miler, although physical fitness is not irrelevant the most important aspect is desire. You have got to really, really, want it. I'm sure there is a certain ultra runner, who is at the sharp end of the field who averages in the build up to a 100-miler, about 40 miles per week.

From my experience, my miles does equal more smiles, however more miles is most helpful with respect to recovery. If you're under-cooked, the race is going to hurt, and also the recovery is going to be long and painful.
