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!

Wow well done Curly :-) brilliant!

My 10k is 3 weeks away and I have no idea how it will go. Have been battling with injury for the last few weeks so not especially hopeful - and if I think racing a 10k may jeopardise my marathon training further, I may not do it. But, plenty of time yet and the plan at the moment is to set out at sub-43 pace and see what happens...

Can't believe I didn't look for this thread before, although it seems to have been a bit quiet recently!

Sunday I hope to hit sub 42. Weird, but I have never run a 10k before, I ran a 47:09 7 mile last November, but things haven't gone totally to plan since then. This will be my first race since then, excluding a 20:28 parkrun 7 weeks ago. I have put a reasonable mileage in, but haven't prepared for a flat 10k.

I meant to run under 6 miles at 7:30 pace yesterday and go my bearings wrong and did over 7. Will see how it goes, aim for 6:45 pace and try not to get carried away as it is a small field (250 max).

I am always willing to update if fetchies post upcoming events mr d, will put you down now, good luck.

I have changed my goals since the thread started though and am now concentrating on long slow stuff so this may be something I never get round to, that is fine though.

My PB is 42.50. I'm nowhere near ready yet for sub 42, but I would like to get 42.30 in July. I'm just coming back from 6 weeks out, but managed 43.25 on a hilly course on Sunday. Perhaps I can get a sub 42 in the autumn/winter if I can stay uninjured.

Terminator, thanks and a great new goal. I'd love to do an Ultra, probably haven't got time to train for it for a few years though. GF that's a great time on a hilly course, especially if you think there is more in the tank!

There wasn't really more in the tank I don't think, that was as much as I had.

I tried to do a 5k last night- my legs were still totally toast from Sunday and I did 21.13- only 3 secs a mile quicker than Sunday lol. I'm ok with that though, I nearly didn't run it because I still had bad DOMS. We have another 5k in 2 weeks time and I want to get under 21 there- then I just need to do it for twice as long ;)
