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!

feeling better after a large big mac value meal with vanilla shake. 1500 calories or so and pretty much a day's worth of salt. What is worrying is that people actually eat this stuff without running marathons.

middle daughter, on finding me cooking some bacon in the kitchen ... "why are you doing that?"
Me: "I'm hungry ... I just ran four marathons"
Her: "You kept that quiet" (despite living in the same house she had been unaware that I have disappeared off to Suffolk each morning for a run)
Her: "If you run so much, why are you still so fat?"

Fat??!!!! hardly BW! good to see you looking so good in the last couple of miles today.
Did the 10 mile fun run instead today and loved it, did get a bit lost,there was a complicated bit and I missed the checkpoint but on the whole it was a lovely event,the signs were great and it was lovely catching up with the walkers. Nice lady who signed me in, it was no problem that I changed from 4 marathons and then couldn't decide whether to do the 10 or 15 mile one, the fact that the 15 miles was 17 and the 10 miler was 11 clinched it for me.

Will definitely be back next year to do the full distances!

Fantastic event!........it had its teething problems yes, it was bound to have! the organisation of all of those routes must have been a logistical nightmare!....I did 4 marathons and only got lost by 1 mile over 4 days........I've gone a lot wrong elsewhere!.........Respect to all of you who organised this, it was a fantastic event! and I will return next year!.......Well done BW...........it must have been the double bacon you had the day I caught you up ;) - Mudlark, don't be to disappointed, everyone I spoke to over the 4 days say they will be back, a tweek here and there would be great..........but you will never make it perfect for everyone! Well done, have a drink and be proud of what you all have achieved this week!
