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 agree with KB, if the same version of the same shoe, not a problem, done it more than once with 'box fresh' Lunarglides. But if less brave (or stupid) the 50 mile suggestion is a good idea.

I did my Bob Graham (23hr 44mins walk / run in the Lakes) in a pair of Inov-8 shoes in which I'd done a couple of 30min walks and one eight mile run. If your shoes fit and they are a model you've used before then one or two short runs should be fine before the marathon

Got something to say?
