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!

First post in a looong time!!

After not having done a mara for a while, I've got the bug again and starting to think about booking one this year. I've done three before, but I've never accomplished my goals. All of my shorter distance times say I should be able to do a sub-4, but when it comes to marathons I just crumble around mile 15 and end up walking and finishing >4:20.

I feel like part of it is because I slow myself down to run 9:00 min / miles, so end up spending lo...
