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!

@Fenland Flier Fenland Flier I am just about to start a training block for the Málaga Half Marathon in December.

I will return to PJ in the new year.

I ran Malaga marathon in 2017 and got my PB, I'd love to go back but I can not take time off in December in this job.

It's a while since I've run a half marathon so looking forward to the training @Fenland Flier

No prospect of a PB for me these days.

I was 5 weeks into PJ and had already knocked close to a minute off my 5k. However I rolled my foot Thursday and it's still swollen now. Guessing I will abandon and set a new benchmark at my next parkrun.

Bad luck, @mr d

I miscalculated when I set up my current Project Joker attempt. The current retest date is when I'm on holiday on Menorca. I might try and find a suitable route there or finish a week early and restart when I get home. Haven't decided yet.

Ooh that's tough @mr D I hope your foot is better soon.

I'd finish a week early @Ness.

Despite this being interrupted by a 24hr race and a 10k race and then my target race being delayed by a week due to flooding... 🙄

Did my 5k this morning and went from 30.46 > 27.38 :)

Will probably give this another go next year.
