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!

A wet one here. A palindromic 25:52. A minute or so slower than recent efforts.

Schoolboy error today. I'm having a Garmin for month so I went out with my old stopwatch. After 4 and a bit kms the road was impassable due to rain so I had to turn back and therefore had no idea when i reached 5km, so I estimated a time based on the first 4.
I've sacked the course director

That's not on, HT. You should ask for a full refund. And compo. And give them a bad review on TripAdvisor.

I've posted a negative review on Facebook and Karen has agreed with me. PSH will be raising this at the next Zoom meeting.

I ran my fake parkrun this morning. Oh how I wish I’d run 🏃🏼‍♂️ it yesterday when the weather was better. The wind & rain 🌧 were awful today. At one point, when I turned South & headed for the seafront, the wind was throwing the rain horizontally into me & I had trouble seeing where I was going.

28.08 for my fake parkrun. Some people would call the weather conditions exhilarating, I know what I’d call them, but there to rude to put into print.

Did a version of the course today, due to ridiculous amounts of flooding ending up as a there and back plus a bit of a loop. 25:53 which I am very happy with considering how little I have been out this week.
Contemplating a Xmas day fakey as well as Boxing Day
