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've inadvertently bet 700 on you, @tipsku so you'd better bring it home.

I bet on @Lesley C the other day who delivered but I don't know how to claim my winnings.

I just checked how old the benchmark is. It's from 26 October so it will probably disappear after 24 January so on the 25th, I'll go against my next benchmark from December, that's 49:57. That's basically marathon pace so definitely doable.

I’m planning to have a pop at my mile time on Saturday. My benchmark time of 8:47 should be very beatable even though I haven’t done anything speedy for ages. Even if I have a bad day I should be able to get you a small return

I was wondering… if someone bets on me today (that bet would expire on 30th) and I broke my time on Saturday (25th) and by a bit more on Tuesday (28th), would that person win twice if they hadn’t cashed their bet in after the first win or would they need to place the bet again before Tuesday?

NB this is entirely hypothetical. I have no plans to make a second attempt within the week (unless Saturday is terrible but I improve my time by a tiny amount)
