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!

Big G-Thats like myself,lots of ifs but I will see over the next couple of months.I got 3:19 at Manchester last year,I'm hoping the exercises and diet will get me a few minutes off that,then the extra miles could sneak me a bit more off.

Ian - how's the diet going?

8 miles today. Although chilly if was really good conditions as that wind has dropped and not even a breeze. Roads dry and good for running, pavements not so good but as I was out so early I could use the roads.

Gym later.

8 miles for me also today and had a decent run.

We picked the car up yesterday, which we are really pleased with.

Last committee meeting for me last night. Iā€™m see Jacki W today for a handover, and then AGM tomorrow.

Keith - nice, I haven't tried that model, maybe too stable for me.

Do you still have the New Balance factory on your doorstep?

Big G - lovely getting a new car, enjoy.

You'll be relieved to do that handover.

WP - have a good session, that's already some weights lifted today. šŸ˜‰

Permission to join the 8 mile club šŸ«”

Bit earlier than normal today and the roads were so much busier so more stopping and starting than I like.
Shades-1lb this week,if I can average that each week I'll be delighted.

About This Thread

Maintained by Shades
Back in December 2005 I started a thread on Runner's World offering a marathon training plan on 3 runs a week. I had my own running club at the time (Womens Running Network) and I had successfully trialled the training plan when I took a group of girls to Dublin to run their first marathon.

Over the years the thread has evolved into a chat thread, with a bit of training advice, race reports, for predominantly marathon runners.
