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!

FFS, I am going to have to get my family to form a queue for the bathroom just so I get the full pre race experience ;-)

See I did plan a camelbak and buff so it didn't rub my neck but Tuesday I ran with a rucksack and buff and still rubbed my neck!
BUT I found a LS top this morning that has a collar! So I won't need the buff as that will stay put and stop rubbed neck

As they say never use of raceday kit you have not used in training so I have to do a training session tomorrow!

See I avoided looping past home as I didn't want to have the temptation of stopping!

Other routes passed shops but new route is flatter and more scenic

Running a solo marathon has its drawbacks so I'm going to make the most of the advantages 😁

My new route is along the canal which made me think of Outlaw as that's round the lake and down the river a few times so almost always water on one side
I thought that alone may help remind me what I'm doing it for
