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!

Springfield Striders RC AGM is a thing of beauty. 17 minutes this year.

2015 Chelmer CC AGM was the shortest since I joined in 2011. 2 hours dead.

2014 I walked out after two and a half, but apparently (according to Painter) it finished about five minutes after I left.

Moaning all.

I bricked. It was very sweaty as I'd somewhat over-dressed for the occasion.

Gerp: no giving up running just yet. another month or so and it'll all be a distant memory. How's the foot holding up?

The foot is kind of trainer-specific Doog - I wore the 'wrong' pair last night. Annoyingly, everything else worked fine. Long run tomorrow - planning to wear the 'right' trainers and hoping for a good outcome. Six and a half weeks to Farnborough. It won't be pretty but I should get round okay/eventually.

I've got multiple instances of having my arse kicked by Glenn between now and then mind.

Just received the following text about tonight's running club track session. Scary stuff for a "drinking club that runs". Guy taking the session is an ex Team GB athlete.

I'll either be frighteningly quick at the jingle bells yokel mile on Saturday, or lying in an oxygen tent somewhere.....

Hi guys,

Tonight's track session will be a 5k based session which would be as follows:

Warm up Minimum 2 lap jog followed by Plyometric drills / stretches and strides

main session: 2 x 800m at mile pace (10min active recovery between reps) first 800m will be run together. Split group into 3 so everyone gets enough recovery between reps.
*2 - 8 x 400m (2min30 sec active recovery)

warm down jog

*Number of reps depending on fitness and ability levels.

See you tonight, any questions feel free to ask

We (me and Argie) used to do that stuff at East Essex Tri track sessions. High knees, heel flicks, sidesteps, skipping, that sort of kidney.
