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'm the other way round. I like the fact I can have my 5k done and be home for 6:30!

Took me all my time to get down to the beach for 8am this morning as not sleeping at all well just now but thought it best to go then before it got too busy as it was a glorious morning.

Rrunner, I'm the same, glad to be done and back before 9.30am ( Scottish start) . Also liking my 5.00am runs during the week although once OH goes back to work he might mind the early morning alarm :-(

They’re stressful times LG. It’s a wonder we don’t all have a permanent headache

I’ve been running after 9pm mostly and that suits me. I like the idea of a morning run and getting up isn’t a problem but I just prefer running in the evening

It's nice that we are all different runners other would have social distance problems at all times of the day and night ;-) . I just find I can get up and have no breakfast and go straight out., by evening I'm tired and cba'd but yet would love an late afternoon or evening run with company.

Agree LG, by the evening I generally CBA. Doesn't help if I have an evening race but I guess that's not going to be an issue this year!

Hi everyone, I'm a fairly new member of Fetch, but loving the forums and features.

I also love parkrun and am missing it, but I'm still running regularly and enjoying my runs. On Saturdays I've been wearing my parkrun milestone T-Shirt or my Apricot T.

Incidentally, I do have story about the new parkrun kit - the shirts, hoodies etc. Pro Direct are local to me (they're Newton Abbot based) and they approached my club for "models" who also love parkrun. I was one of the few chosen and we went along to a local parkrun venue (Parke near Newton Abbot) where we were interviewed and had loads of pics taken. For our troubles we were each given a hoody, T shirt, a pair of shoes of our choice and a pair of shorts and we had a great morning out. Keep an eye out for me in some of the parkrun material - I'm the tall one :)

Welcome to Fetch big_G.

Interesting story and good to see they used parkrunners rather than paid models for the pics. And free kit thrown in!
