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!

Pub nearby is the best bet, it's quite changeable at the moment. But there's usually a few cans of stuff about once the running's over.

I fully and quite rationally expect to run my slowest ever mile today. I am overweight and have done nothing approximating 'speed' work for about a year. But that's ok. Sort of ...

I seem to have been rather foolish and pelted it around parkrun today for a new pb, and my legs are letting me know about it :-)

Will still be there. At Battersea Park just after 2pm so will find the track from there and try to look like I know what I am doing.

I'm coming now. I have one can of lager, and the remnants of a virus. Go me!

Congratulations to all; next time in September? Or earlier? Suggestions welcome.

Anyone prefer the free track in Feltham that was mentioned?

After the event I walked round Battersea Park for well over an hour, just enjoying it. I'm sure many people would pay quite a lot to see all that's there, if it were National Trust for example. Funny really, because I've run in it a few times now and never noticed what's inside the perimeter road.

May and September are the obvious times for a track mile, thanks again for arranging! North London, say Parliament Hill would be a lot more accessible for me but not sure this riff raff would fit into the Highgate set.
