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!

Isn't it strange the tricks your mind can play. It was the first handicap race this evening and I thought I'd tried hard and pushed myself. I haven't done this series since 2019 but I was quietly happy with a time of 50.44 for the 4.42 mile course.

Then Fetch tells me it was my '18th fastest out of 18 attempts' and bursts my bubble :-( Even worse, my WAVA is only 59.17%.

So, perceived effort = hard; actual effort = poor. Bugger.

I have a race tomorrow - the Rother Valley relays, where lots of clubs put lots of teams in and each team of 4 runs 5K. I'm first off for our mixed team, it's a real mix of runners - someone ran 15 mins last year, I'll be happy with 24 mins. It sounds really good fun.

LD, try not to compare to a 5 years ago you. We've all gone through a lot since then, including lockdowns, Covid and the unforgiving aging progress.

You. Got. Out. You runned. You felt good. You didn't cry and didn't die.
