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!

Morning. Hope Billy's not too sore today. Waiting for OH to get back from delivering one of his bilkes to the LBS before I go out for my C25K run. I've had a text to say my new passport will be delivered by 8pm tonight and there needs to be someone in to take delivery. Might be nice if they gave us a bit more of a clue time-wise but given that I only applied last Wednesday I should be grateful that I'm not left waiting for it for weeks and weeks.

Wk 2 Run 1 done. I must say run-walking a couple of miles a day is much more fun than slogging out a 'I mustn't stop to walk' longer run 🤣

Don't tell anyone but I have been for a run - felt very strange at first but soon got back into it 😁 only 1 mile bit bow to gently build on it

Yay MM, now that really makes me smile.

LD I was wondering if c25k is what I should do.

I was in the shower this morning contemplating my life :-( and especially my training :-( :-( and realised I need to take stock, shake it up a bit and do the things that make me happy again…

That's the thing with the C25k, LG - the requirements of each session are well within my (and your) capabilities so there's no pressure. I know there shouldn't feel as if there's pressure on a 'general run' but that's the way it had got with me. And although it's only half an hour, I feel as if I've done something worthwhile.

I do think it’s the pressure that’s getting to me. I really want to do the Sheepy shuffle and also some of my friends are doing a HM this weekend in support of a friend who is suffering a cancer but beating myself up is doing my anxiety no good. Sick before I even got to work this morning. Don’t get me wrong it’s not just my running to blame but it’s not helping.

That is what I loved about c25k. I concentrated on running half mile rather than plodding 3

Did your passport arrive LD? When my niece applied for hers, it arrived within a week and just came in the post.

C25k is a great way to build back up again, which was my original plan, then I became a bit more impatient. ;-) Mandymoo I really think that it's what would be better for you after being out of it for so long, much better to re-train your running muscles again.

Yes, AR, my passport arrived via TNT courier today - just popped through the letterbox while I was expecting to have it handed to me! 6 days from applying online to receipt which is about as good as it could get, really.

The new expiry date is September 2032 which sounds a lot further away than just 10 years!
