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!

Aw that’s a bummer DT :-(

Well Naples was hot and hilly and a part walk up one of the hills cost me a sub 30 :-( but I should be pleased with the effort.

I went out way to late, decided I couldn’t be bothered to a) put any effort in or b) do the route I did last time, so I ran 4.1 miles and knocked the first mile off the time - still much slower than my last couple of attempts, but I’ll take 29:52 given that I was doing 11 minute mileing for the first mile and wanted to give up.

Must have a word with the ED though - I don’t remember having to stop at a road crossing in a parkrun before, very poorly designed course!

I’ll be at sea heading home next Saturday so I will either have to run round the deck or do a treadmill run ;-)

I went Cape Town 1997, must have chnaged, looking forward to it.

29.01 today, not bad, different route, basically a hill, a bit late out so course congestion problematical.....not bad though....downhill finish, If I can find a nice flat non-congested route, would be good, difficult curently.
