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!

I ventured to the dark side and didnt learn anything new

However, venturing to Boston website revealed that their GFA for my age group is much more lenient than VLM current and that could be an option

Blimey that's a big change.

I think the change in the under 40 time for both men and women will affect quite a few people who have targeted last year's times at marathons in the last few months

Why do they change it? Is it because many people are getting faster?
