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!

Thanks Steve, I'm getting used to the longer distance I have to walk back from the supermarket. It's still a bit of a nightmare inside the store, walking up and down the isles trying to find everything. There is a store member walking round with a 'lollipop' "I'm here to help"

I'm glad that Torey is able to walk/run with you whilst awaiting her emergency MRI scan. Well done for this mornings 2 miles on trails, observing bats on the way.

This morning was a hill session with Sarah F, Julie and Mike, with a difference. Instead of 6 reps up the hill and jog down, we did 6 x 800 metres, which was up to the top of the hill, straight ahead for a short distance, left turn, straight ahead, left turn, down the hill, left turn to the start. In simple terms it was an 800 metre circle starting uphill, and going down the other side, with recoveries between each lap. Total mileage 6.65 including run out and back. A very tough session!

I've managed to find the photo of the pig at one of our parkruns a few years ago.

Looks a friendly porker!
4.4 miles along usual trail route this morning. Just light enough to go without head torch. Won't be for much longer unless of course I go out later. But I prefer early mornings!
Didn't see a single runner even though the Cardiff Half isn't far away and that usually brings out more people having a go.

HS, did the pig have you covered for speed?

Thanks for the positive words and support, MrHsc.

Steve, I confess I have never ran with a headtorch. I suspect that’s as a result of living a city lifestyle where the light pollution is immense!

11km this morning. It was a real plod after a night in the pub yesterday.

I think that it was a friendly pig Steve. Well done for this mornings 4.4 miles on trails.

JackFW, we couldn't get the pig to partake in the parkrun!

Well done for this mornings 11k, after a night in the pub.

I decided to take a running rest day today, as yesterday's session was really tough. Instead, I drove into the village for a haircut.

I’d be petrified of running near pigs, cows, horses even dogs freak me out since I got bitten. I’d be no good in your forest HS 🤣

Do you have wild horses HS? Pigs aren't too bag, but definitely wouldn't run near cows, have had to a few times.

Well done on all your miles folks.

I went out in the forest on my own on Tuesday, was nice and I felt ok. We had summer back again as it was 20 degrees. Out with the ladies this morning and it was 4 degrees. A beautiful clear morning though and a lovely sunrise.

I would be very bored if I didn't have a head torch, gives me freedom to run out of town in the darkness. I live in a small town.

That's a shame LL, as forest running is so enjoyable. We are very careful around animals, and can usually anticipate when they are likely to become aggressive.

We don't have wild horses in the forest Lesley, but the ponies do run wild. When one starts galloping all the others follow, so that is rather scary.

I'm glad that you enjoyed Tuesdays solo forest run, and yesterday's with the ladies.

It was the club's last session in the forest last night, so will be back on the roads again.

The usual Friday Farmers Walk this morning.

Last long run this morning before the taper and it can’t start too soon, starting to feel the effects of marathon training fatigue in the legs!
19 miles with 9 at marathon pace.

YTD 1077 miles.
