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!

Just done my 11th F'lap. One more will give me just over Half Marathon distance, but I'm having to nurse my knee a lot now. If it was just down to walking, I reckon I could go beyond my original target of 13 laps (each lap is just over a mile, hence only needing one more to get to 13.1 miles.)
It's actually quite addictive :-)

Well done @LazyDaisy that’s awesome, especially with a sore knee. 8 x 2 miles for me so far. Personally I think it’s the number of laps is hardest, rather than the distance. The breaks are nice but getting going again hurts 😁

Quite, Cheeky's Dad, by the time I'm getting home at the end of the mile my knee has eased, but when I start again - ouch!!

Well done F’Lappers. Not the best day for it.

One of the wetter parkruns for my 250th. You’d think be complaining of being too hot in July, nae getting a soaking!

Now (im)patiently waiting for milestone t-shirt size to be available.

Thank you. I've decided to be boringly sensible and stick to original target of 13 laps. My sons are both exhorting me to keep going but I think I might just overdo it if I keep going beyond 14 miles.

I've been lucky with the weather the rain we've had has been very brief and although the wind is very gusty it hasn't really been a nuisance.
I'm lucky I did it here rather than in Cheltenham - it's the Cotswold Way Relay today and the photos on the club website are of very wet and bedraggled runners!

I’m hoping it becomes a regular thing because I do want to try it.

That's it, I'm done. A nice shower and a tasty supper for me now. And an early night!
