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!

WW - ""I’m actually take part in a 10k race tomorrow. Given current state of fitness I’m taking part, not racing but I’m looking forward to the whole experience!""

Sharp running of late, SPR. Why is a Nuneaton Harriers event held in Wolverhampton?

Thanks PtB (and WW earlier). Location was just wrong, I must have copied a race in Wolverhampton when I made the entry. Race was in the middle of Nuneaton.

There's a few from this thread sandbagging over on the Sub 40 10k thread, lol.

You've been doing some decent mileage WW so surprised you doubted your fitness?

SPR - yes and no. Lots of very unspecific 'general' running. Very few sessions, even fewer of those tempos runs that always help me define the kind of pace that I might be able to sustain in a race.

I also think that for the marathoners there's a real feeling of confidence that comes from those high mileage periods. For me that's a few months at 60-70 mpw, not the 40-50s that I've been on.
