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!

Its all about the fooling of the brain :)

Got something to say?

To be under, let’s say 60min, on 10km, might be one of the first goals for us exercise weekend warriors. 6min/km.10km under one hour, lots of nice and round numbers.

(I don’t know what you brits call a person who exercises as a hobby?)

But in imperial that’s like under 9,39min on 6,213 miles. Or something like that.
Not quite the same ring to it.
I know we all are fa...
