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

Impossible is Nothing DNF - went out at sub-3 pace to see what happened but lack of that level of fitness became obvious. 16 miles out my legs were tying up and (although 16th mile was uphill) ran a couple of slow miles so decided not to stagger to the finish in a time over 3 hours and knock out 6 weeks of running in the process. A long walk back to the start past many concerned other runners! Well-organised race, good course and good conditions, shame it didn't work out.

neiltaff Did this last year for the first time really enjoyed ,although i paid the price for an overexhuberant first half. Cramp in both hamstrings and both calves at the same time meant a bit of walking between mile 15 and 21 ,never mind it's all part of the learning curve .

Ginger N Pleased and at the same time dissapointed, was running 2:52 pace and felt as comfortable. But too much refueling during mile 15 brought on wave after wave of stitches so slowed to 3hr pace. Couldn't eat or drink from then on which made the last few miles intresting. Held on for a PB when it would have been easier to cut my losses.

MarkC Struggled badly from mile 24 but this is still a 7min PB for me. Well happy with that. Couldn't have done without Peacey. The man's a legend. Great to run with Keefy Beefy, Stuart M and many others. More later. I'm shagged. But content. I can improve on this too.

Naomi P Target marathon for the autumn. *Update* Whoo, 3600 credits bet! 4 minute PB which I'm happy with, but I'm not a fan of that super risky eyeballs out pacing strategy, didn't work for me today ;-) Great race with loads of Fetchy and other mates, and the best Fetchpoint ever :-)

baggieboy My first marathon - The plan to achieve sub 3:15. Race report - Worst race i ever done since starting running in 2005. Had all hopes of getting 3:05/3;10. didn't feel right after 3 miles was working to hard to keep to my pace, after 10 miles started to struggle. The last 16 was hell and 300 other runners past me until i finish. Still can not work out what went wrong. However planning another Marathon in April, because i known i can do much much better.
