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!

Sweaty Frank I've not experienced anything comparable to Boston. Here is a noteworthy observation...THE ROUTE IS MUCH MORE DIFFICULT THAN IT LOOKS ON PAPER. (Yes, I was shouting that.) The early downhills work your quads over, but at that point in the race, you are not conscious of it. That'll come later. I had planned to run the first half faster, taking advantage of the downhills, and putting some time in the bank in case my knee and/or Achilles went bad through the hills. After the first few miles, I was two minutes off my planned pace, due entirely to the tightly packed field of runners. Eventually, I had a little elbow room and I made up that lost time fast, too fast it turns out. By the half, I was four minutes ahead of my planned time for the half, at a pace that would have had me 8 minutes ahead of my projected finish. Sirens and flashing light should have been going off in my head, but instead, I though,

SueW Thrilled to qualify for this race. It would be nice to run well but in truth I'd sooner be slightly under trained and run a competent race than really push the miles, pick up an injury and miss it completely. It is my main focus for the Spring tho. ** Update** Still targetting 4 hours as my race time. I'll give that a good go, but I'd be stunned if I ran a pb. **Update** Marvellous event. Warmer than forecast by the time I started at around 10:35 and stayed warm. I started with 4 hour pacing and stuck to it till about 18 miles when I faded away. Best support in a race ever. Well worth doing if you ever get the chance.
