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!

He's a bit of an odd one. I've never met the chap but he has consistently criticised and provided comments on my training (and diet!) on my blog and on twitter this year which at times I have found very rude. I'm sure he means well, but that level of detail in unsolicited comments/criticism is not what I want to get from someone unless I'm paying them to be my coach.

That's par for the course, any idiot can pass judgement. I think Santa's blog summarised it perfectly.

I ran most of the Loch Katrine marathon with Robert, he is slightly eccentric and gets deeply immersed in being very analytical.

I wouldn't take anything as nasty or critical more trying to be helpful, he is an engineer that loves stats, graphs and data.

Sometimes it's better not to say anything at all but not everyone can do that.

I'm happy to watch other people be arses without saying anything.

Until they repeatedly upset people I know and like.

I notice he hasn't answered your post M1nty. Yes, made me laugh when the winner and second place both replied with somewhat sarcastic "Thanks Robert, you're teaching us how to race!"

Hmmm.

In other news, I've shopped! £100 of sugar and spice and all things nice. Nom, nom! :-) G

That probably equals your total spend on sugary stuff over the last, er 5 years, perhaps?

Last I saw had two lengthy replies to other questions, I'm guessing Ian pulled the trigger due to the previous content folk weren't happy with.

Paul and Robbie were both quite annoyed with it. Paul told me he was biting his tongue and considering deleting himself to stop answering!
