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!

Better beer at the Red lion, but if it's raining Chandos would be preferred.

Thanks Gobi - Taper madness running quite low here. Weather forecast is looking very reasonable for once (both temp and rain wise at 15C overcast/no rain at Stratford).

I did the same 3 mile route in 21C and then 17C heat over the weekend and I did it faster in 10C heat (12 seconds) and at 5bpm lower, which shows how much temperature can play a part. Have my super conservative race plan and will stick to it.

How's everyone else doing? Bazo fallen over yet?
