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!

Forward planning a bit I know . . . but I've just put my name down for this if anyone fancies ambling round it too?

Wow Mulbs that looks a great event. I am not sure if I am doing any more long distance events now, I am waiting to see how my health pans out in the next few months and will see how I am next year. I have no idea how I did three marathons this spring.

EB good luck with your miles target for the month. MM really hope you are better now.

Now come on Ireland, Mr Lemon is counting on you! 🍀

honestly, my experience of 50k events as a SAPper rather than a racer is that it's like an all day all you can eat buffet with a bit of running and walking thrown in, don't be frightened by the distance, it's a different mindset to a marathon event. I blogged about my first one a couple of years ago - let me check what year/month . . .

That does look tempting, especially with the no cut off time.

That's an awfully long way mulbs, but you'll manage it, no problem. :)

MM, glad you're finally improving, make sure you take an extra day or two when you think you're better to really make sure that everything's finally bogged off.

I went for a run last night - too much walking involved, but never mind. This morning I went to check out the new PT. We did a few exercises and I think he'll be okay. I said that I want some kind of accountability so we'll see how that pans out. I did some weighted squats and immediately had OMS, no Delay about it anywhere! :-o He reckoned it was because I still had lactic in my quads from running. I start properly next Wednesday and may go twice some weeks.

I'm signed up for London to Brighton in May as a jogger so I'm really tempted by this as I should be recovered or dead one of the two 🤣 I done a 25k on the isle of wight beginning of this year and it was good. I like the idea of no cut off, food and a day out doing something I love.
