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!

Yes, however EA host them on the athleticshub.co.uk website. You need to have an active EA URN account to see them (you get that when you are registered with a club).

If you are viewing the 'live' events, you don't need that!!!

that's good - Thanks :)

I hear your pain Rosehip...hopefully you can watch them at your leisure later. If you're struggling to get access to them once they're online let me know. I have other ways of getting the information out.

After some advice if possible. My training plan has me down for 12 last week and 14 this week but we are being plagued by snow and ice

Last week I did 7 on Sunday but increased runs through the week to get the weekly mileage (actually slightly more than the plan would have)

This week I’ve done 21.5m already but 14 in these conditions will be so hard. My plan would have had me at 25. Am I ok thinking dropping the planned miles concentrating on time on feet (and ultimately not getting injured) will keep me on track somewhat?

TIA 🙃

If your interest is in completing not competing it’s all about time on your feet. Anyway if it genuinely doesn’t feel safe or you’re worried about injury don’t go out running. Go and do a hilly walk is my advice

I wouldn't lose sleep over it GG. No sense doing yourself an injury for the sake of one run. If I remember correctly you're working towards a June race so you've ages of training time left.

I shifted a weekend LR to a Monday a couple of weeks back. And today's intended LR has been swapped to tomorrow. If you have the time to be flexible - and you're due a break in the weather - maybe reschedule?

But either way one run won't be a game changer.

GG I try to keep flexible with plans and with life as well as conditions. I can’t see missing some sessions will have much of a detrimental effect physically. It’s the mental side that I find myself having to work on but dig into past training and outcomes to find confidence.

Years and decades of distance running (to me 20 + mile runs, races, events) lead I believe to physiological changes in the body. I haven’t done a run over probably 15 miles since doing a marathon last September but am confident that I could run / walk 30 miles or walk 50 miles tomorrow if I needed / wanted to
