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!

Well, it's probably not compulsory, but you need to be aware of it, I'd think.

No idea what jaw buzz is - clearly not something you get hacking and spluttering your way round a 5 k course the way I do

Buzz jaw is the result of running hell for leather down hills and cleeching your teeth. It ruddy hurts so if you ain't had it be thankful. It's up there with "razor lungs"

OK Homer, here I am.

As soon as LN is out of the way, this is a good target. Did 20:58 at WCTT a few weeks back, so reasonable speed is there, but need to get intervals sorted for this and consistency of 3:5x ks
