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!

We would never ban any blackcat. They just can't sit on or near the allergy sofa.

Good news Fleecy :)

Went to club, none of the usual gang were there. Legs felt horribly achy and heavy so I really struggled on the warm up, then we had to line up in speed order. I was the slowest, and was paired with the fastest (and so on, so the people in the middle of the line were with similar abilities). Hill reps up two hills, meet at the top, turn, recover back down, meet at bottom. Repeat on opposite hill.
I felt really stressed about being paired with the fastest club member, and didn't like it at all.
Also didn't get the whole of the effort section in, and hardly any recovery time either.

And forgot my watch.

Sounds grim, Carp. What was the point of pairing the slowest with the fastest? I don't understand that.

Nor do I Carp. I'd have hated that and felt under far too much pressure :-(

Skimmed a catch-up of the last 150ish posts. Got back home this morning. Had intended to run, but life and tiredness got in the way. Will be a shock to the system going back to work in the morning...

My trail shoes are a least a half if not a size too small for me :-( I wore them this morning because of the ice and I have bruised my big toes

Oh noo :-( LG. Hope your toenails won that battle.
Morning all - think I’ll cancel my core class, (keeping my sniffles to myself) & have a day out on a bike in the sunshine. Mr has ordered a large chunk of longhorn cow from a butcher near where I ran with Alpenrose last year, a 14+ mile scenic half. She & I met the cattle, they were beautiful, photogenic & gentle and apparently very tasty too.

Morning :)

You know what that means LG, time for new shoes! :) It was too small trail shoes in my early running life that did for my right big toenail (both at the time) and I'm still paying for it now.

Have fun in the sun ferret and hope your sniffles bugger off soon.

I'll be having lots of fun in the fresh powder today. :)

About This Thread

Maintained by Serendippily
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2020 thread, everybody welcome. The thread motto is:
'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

At normal times: All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles. Extra points for bins :-) And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.

Join in the chat on the friendliest thread around - all things discussed, sometimes even running.
