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!

Keeping busy, Ally :-) A race I've never done either.

I'm swithering about entering the Jimmy Irvine a week on Sunday. I'm missing doing races and reckon I'm fit enough ... but after my last attempt to run a 10K race resulted in woeful injury that I'm just really back from, I'm nervous of discovering that my leg won't stand up to prolonged pace again.

The specialist at Forth Valley told me yesterday I had a very good knee for a Scottish person of my age, nae sign of arthritis. Should’ve got them to x-ray the other one😀

Nae damage by the way. So hope to be running again soon.

The Glen Lyon race weekend ( 31 mile ultra Saturday, 15.5 mile trail Sunday ) is normally first weekend of May, the organisers have just announced that due to issues this year with lambing, the local estate have asked for date to be changed and so for 2020 is now first weekend of April, ie 4th and 5th. Races added to race database

I nearly got wiped out by a sheep running across the road at Kyles 10 Miles this year. Little bit surreal

The Glen Lyons looked (for someone who doesn't do that kind of thing) interesting races. Katypie had a good blog on her race there. So far away!

The problem they may have in bringing forward to start of April, is getting to the start line. It's miles and miles of single track road that never sees a snowplough - it's not unheard of to get snow in late March that could still be lying.........

Also, the most direct route for many from the Central Belt is up and over the hill road that you use to climb Ben Lawers - that was closed until well after Easter 2 winters ago, there is a longer, lower level route that avoids this road though.
