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!

Bon voyage Mandy and bonjour messieurs/dames to everyone else.

I've done my 5k for the day and now it's the ironing mountain to climb before we head off to the seaside later. Happy Monday!

Bonjella Mandy. ;-)

I am up and about to have breakfast then off to the studio with a long to do list.

No running today. Definitely due a rest day.

Morning all. Survived GHM, but OMG that was hot, hilly and hard. Gutted I didn't see you @Carp, I did look out for you. Glad you got round ok. GH and I set off together but he was running with another club mate and I pushed on. Haven't drunk that much fluid on a run ever before. Struggled between 14 and 21, but finally found a second wind at 22 and was able to jog the last few miles, though both calves cramped up totally 300m from the end and I finished looking like a wooden puppet ;-)
Note to self Do Some Bloody Running Training before a marathon :-) :-)

What a shame you missed each other - well done CStar. medal

I've just done my June Virtual Mile and managed to knock 46 seconds off last month. I heeded TB's coach's advice, went off hard and hung in as long as I could. I could hardly breath at the end so I must have done something right. :)

No more running from me for over a week now as I'm yet another one going off to France in a couple of days. I'm just going to stick to walking and swimming while there.

Well done AR medal thats a big improvement
I dont know how you can run such a hard marathon on no training CStar but it says a lot about your general fitness. I hope you enjoyed it too!

Well done CStar. Ditto what Dipps said. Hope you’re recovering today.

Attempted 3 miles at tempo pace today. Ended up being a bit faster than intended but I did stop a few times. Warm, windy and uphill not best choice for first half! 😂

He'll be delighted to hear that AR! Well done on an excellent run!

I was sorry to miss you CStar :( I did catch a glimpse of your back on that first hill. I had a complete mare and came in at 8+ hours (although some of that was stopping with an injured runner).

I saw on the results Carp. Seemed to be an awful lot of people in the same situation. Taking much longer than anticipated due to the heat and a few injuries. Your nursing skills will have been much in demand. I'm glad the lady who fell and hit her head is ok. I saw the air ambulance coming in and did wonder.
Well done for getting round. That's all that mattered.
