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!

Morning all. Popping in to leave luckluckluck for anyone who wants.

Met MrsBridgewater and cathruns in the breakfast room :)

Right. Do I go for a PB or not? Running volume is up, speed is down but I only need 10:50 pace for a PB (although last year I clocked 27.01 miles at 10:37 pace on the Garmin - which pace do I need for sub-4:45?? I'm so confused.).

Always better to be over distance than the Manchester debacle, however I got a Garmin measured 26.72 miles today!!!

The medal (or should I say mini-shield) is totally awesome. :)

I'm glad I wasn't the only one: 26.73 for me from my Garmin.

You're right about the min-shield. I can't wait to get the second one of the pair at the Coyote Marathon in September.

And I've already signed up for the Roadrunner next year.

Cheers FR, just over a 2 and a half minute PB for me today although those last 4 laps were tough for me.

There I was, enjoying the occasion, perfect morning conditions, hit 14 miles at 2:02. Then at mile 19, I cramped up and couldn't shift it, finishing in just over 5 hours having had no choice but to walk nearly all the final 7 miles.

My Garmin recorded 26.81 miles but a lot of that could be down to me not following the racing line to allow faster runners through on the inside.

Lovely to see you today Scooby Dave :-) You looked in fine form, so well done on the PB.

Surrey Phil - I kept moving over for the faster runners too, but I wouldn't expect it to have made me run an extra 0.8 of a mile!

No, probably not 0.59 miles. But that's a debate for the accuracy of GPS devices against the official course measurement.

I know, and it's not an issue for me. I'm certainly not going to be complaining about it, it is what it is and I was there for a good steady run in great company, which is exactly what I got.
