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!

Steve that is an impressive improvement over a short period! Same as you it is one of my highlights so far. Going from a few years ago thinking it was an impossible time, to finally doing it a couple of weeks ago felt so good!

@peanut I went from zero running to 5k in 4 months or so, started doing parkrun and just kept at it, I'd also lost 4 stone over 9 months basically by running consistently and not eating biscuits. I improved a lot later on by specific training, better shoes and a proper warm up routine. I can't emphasize enough, learn a better warm up routine that works for you.

Got something to say?
