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!

You looked fresh as a daisy as I hauled my battered frame into the changing room, fozzy. 2012? Or 2009, even?

Ah Swittle - Even I make an appearance on your 2010 pic of the Yorkshireman. I think that was the first year I did it. Done if 5 or 6 times more since - brilliant event.

Fully agree, Brighouse Boy. I found the 'Yorkshireman' Marathon very demanding mentally, which undermined my physical effort; the Ultra Half had a very constructive 'social' element.

It was 2012 Swittle - it was part of my training for a (failed) attempt at a sub-3 at London that year.

I seem to remember that Gobi had persuaded me to run it as a 20mile progressive run - that was great as I was passing people all the way from halfway to the finish. The 2 mile warm down was absolute agony though!

BB - 5 YORHMs for me too! I'm sure I met you at one of them. Although I think I've also bumped into you at a number of other races too before I went to the dark side and started doing almost exclusively fell and orienteering.
