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!

Best training month ever. 238miles in total. Mainly training runs upto 70%maxWHR. Longest run, a fairly hilly 20miles (inc Little and Great Orme) in 2h20m, with ave h/r of just uner 74%maxWHR. Finished month with a fairly flat 8miler with ave h/r just under 70%maxWHR and ave pace just under 6.5min mile.
Really pleased with how running is going - really enjoying - shame really that I'll only do 2 races this yr - a hilly 12.5km race in September (which starts/finishes in the village we live) and my local marathon (Snowdonia) in October.

326 miles at an average of 4:32 mins per Km, longest run was 24 miles and as a lot of you during my one of my long runs I PBed my half marathon time
So everything going well, no injuries, a lot of money spent on kit ( and washing tablets to clean all the kit!), 2 more weeks of hard training and then taper down for my race in the desert!
Altough I am starting to feel a bit tired of all this running!

190 miles @ 7.39/mile. PB at 10 miles but missed a 5k PB so a bit disappointed. February for a 10k PB (hopefully) and increase the mileage. Not surprised you're a bit tired Controversial at 326 miles. Lots of respect for all of you 250+ milers - in a short month as well!

Short month above meaning Christmas break - there were still 31 days in it! This month is shorter.

125 miles for me at 8:20 pace. Not bad considering I missed a fair bit due to illness/home stuff/life.

Last couple of weeks have been more solid though and I knocked out an 18 miler yesterday. Longest since Abingdon and no ill effects.

79 miles for me at an average of 8:26 for the timed runs, which don't include the intervals. Still injured and already written off chances of sub 3:15. Worried that I might not even be able to make sub 3:30.
