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 don’t think I’ve ever met you Gobi, but I’ve never seen anything on here to suggest you’re anything other than a decent human being

I don’t inhabit the same spaces as the speedy people, but you’d be very welcome to visit my slow plodding world

I have been in here since the early days ( a 3 digit number ) The first Fetchie I met was Gobi. Our daughters went to school together and were great friends. He is and always will be one of my closest friends but I can confirm there are a lot of people on here or used to be on here who will say some fairly awful and untruthful things about him but I know if I ever need anything he will be there.

Meanwhile I don’t post much. As others have said things have changed which is only natural but I wouldn’t be without Fetch, after all all my training is here. So for that thank you Fetch.

Oh and as for the GSR photo which I am actually in Gobi you were there, you were my driver for the day and yes you were warming up. From memory we both had incredibly runs that day.

Trying to introduce myself to Gobi about 1/2hr after he finished the Snowdonia marathon was perhaps not the best time!?! He always gave good honest advice imo!!

JB - was that when I ran 3.0X with a torn adductor in the pissing rain ?

If it was then sorry I hate being injured and I hate rain so the 2 together and knowing what shape I was in before the addcutor means I may not have been at my best :¬)

I went to Santbabys wedding, but then she is my sister.

Does anyone remember Pootle, harmless but off the wall.

And that Canadian lady. Pink Cat or something like that.

Hello All,

My Dad (Running Beard) pointed me in this direction to have a look after he’s posted an update. His memory hasn’t left him yet and seemed to get the update correct!

Great to look back and see so many messages from you all.

Sharkie - I still remember reading that blog for the first time and beaming from ear to ear. I think I screenshotted it and have it kept as an image somewhere, thankyou for the reminder of the lovely words!

StepfordWife - I am indeed old enough to be getting married and am actually engaged :) We had everything booked for an August wedding in a few months time but we have had to delay it until next year for obvious reasons! :(
I keep saying that I’ll take her up to run a lakeland trail but have never gotten round to it. Particularly keen on running Cartmel but I’m not sure it’s run anymore? :(
