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 find that I am frequently 1st in my age group - often the only one. Now that I am in the 75+ age group, this will happen even more frequently. Of course I am getting consistently slower nowadays!

It's impressive that you are still running frequently, Ev, and at a decent pace; many over 70s can't run and some can struggle with walking! You are an inspiration.

Oh dear! What have I got to live up to now? Thank you both for those very kind words, and may God bless you and keep you safe this Christmas time - and beyond, of course.

I plan to aim for this, when the park runs are back running, I’ve never ran a park run so it will be interesting to see what I can do.

Morning CL. Welcome to the thread. Parkruns are great for a weekly time trial. Hopefully we’ll get back to them before too many more months.

Today's 4 miles was a struggle from the getgo. I never found my rhythm and it was hard work all the way. There was quite a lot of walking, but it's done.

Well done FestiveMedals. I did a run tonight but I couldn't get a GPS signal so it did not measure the distance properly. It will be interesting to see what I do on Sunday although I am very nervous as the predicted times for the racers are very quick.
