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!

Eddington number - do you know yours?

I could not understand what the E number meant but have got hold of it now. I miss the training log geek gene. There’s a blog in it for me now though ;-)

16 for me which is higher than I expected. “Only” need another 3x17 and 2x18 to move up a couple.

I buck the trend a bit by managing 27 for running. And only need a couple of 29 mile days to move up a couple of places. When's the next version of the Castle Challenge? 😉

My Paul Eddington number (times you laughed at the Good Life x times you laughed at Yes, Minister x times you laughed at Yes, Prime Minister) will be less than 27.

24 running and 27 cycling. Cycling cannot be right as I can only recall one cycle of that distance.

Actually I ran two marathons before logging on fetch and so I am 25 and one marathon shy of 26.

Cycling I have just recalled I did Edinburgh to Glasgow twice which is c50 miles but only one logged here. I guess I must have done some longer prep cycles but can only think of two and not the 27.

I'm sure I never ran more than 26.2 pre Fetch, so that number is a lifetime one. Probably did over 60 x 100k rides but not a lot more than that.

I didn’t log my cycle on here either but found I blogged it and reported one 40 mile training ride.
