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!

LMH just use running as you need to and don’t push it you’re head isn’t in it. Really sorry to hear your news, it takes time but things do get better.

Great running skr, I was tempted to enter Boston this week but managed to hold off

SKR - That's a great time, well done!

LMH - Sending positive vibes your way!

Meanwhile coming to the last part of my Marathon training I forgot how hard it is mentally! Been lots of highs and lows in this years 18 week plan!

I don't think I have a hope of PBing at York - can't decide whether it's worth putting myself through it or not.

How are you doing Brunski?

Can you just enjoy it as a day out/jog round LMH? I'm also unsure how much of an effort I'm going to make, but I'm pretty committed to taking part at some level. I don't usually do the "just taking part" thing but did run a local marathon in May that wasn't too serious (under 100 people) and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I think I'd have to give it my best if I pinned a number on jda - and I'm not sure if I can cope with being disappointed again at whatever that best turns out to be. I haven't totally discarded the idea though as it does mean a night staying at a friend's, a change of scene and of course the opportunity to carb load...........

Another perspective is, would you actually feel happier sitting at home? That could probably be equally disappointing in itself.

If it's -3C I'd probably be happier sat at home than stood on the start line in a vest and shorts :-)

LMH - why not use it to tinker with race tactics? Maybe halfway a bit more comfortable (1:30 or whatever) hold that or slightly faster to 20, then you have a nice generally downhill 5 miles or so at the end to pick people off?
