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!

Turn up Lisrun's blogs - he mostly posts a link to an external blog provider - all free. He & Melanie LH have run many of the Hardmoors events and I'd put their success down to sensible pacing, rather than chasing PBs.

I'd really not try to cram in any double-figure runs now - say, up to 10k and off road if you can. Most important, take time to recover from the op. I hope all goes well. :)

That is a good call Swittle they have done a lot of runs down there and Flip also.

I don’t intend doing more than 5-6miles now I need to keep the pressure off I think a lot of my issues was the pressure I put on myself to pick up pace after the early years efforts.

The low ass minor just local anaesthetic but the location of the cut meant I couldn’t run. I’m in a good place mentally it is certainly going to be the rest of endurance not speed. Or that is the plan anyway.

I’m rubbish at fuelling so I’ve got a few things I like to eat planned rather than stressing the quality of the food figuring anything is better than nothing.

Thanks again

I’ve got my start time for the Binks Race to the Pub. I’ve been given the same start time as Avon and I’m 7th from last to head off. I think I may have oversold myself...

Lol. Could be my only chance to finish ahead of you in a race then! Mine, hmm, I could probably do it on a good day.

Good luck, GG!

Running to the pub has to be a great incentive good luck NDWDave

Thanks Badger I have been pondering why I’m not stressed given my lack of prep for this and I think it’s that I don’t have any expectations other than to finish so I hope I just enjoy the experience.

I'm possibly the least experienced ultra runner posting here, but I think it's the right place for your head to be. Nothing you can do about the body, so your mental attitude is essential.
