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!

Sodahead This will be a decent indication of where I am and how much I have still got to do. This is what happened - Weather conditions were not good. A stiff north easterly breeze helping us on the outward half but right in our faces all the way back :o( A good competitive field had been assembled We set off on the B of the boom – they only started the race with a small ships cannon. And what a start it was. The leaders set off as if it were a 1500m race. Immediately the top 30 runners were strung out. Mile 1: 5.44 run at marathon HR, just sorting things out. Mile 2: 5:39 down(ish) wind and I pick off a couple of runners. I get on the shoulder of a runner from Birtlee and I have on my shoulder a FLM trainee (85 miles so far this week) Mile 3: 5.51 sort of conserving energy sat on Birtlee man and not wanting (or more importantly I don’t have the confidence) to take it on. But before the end of mile 3 I do take it on and I open a small gap on Birtlee man. FLM man is right on my shoulder. Mile 4: 6.14 so much happens in this mile -. We are running into the wind and it hurts a lot. FLM man runs past me and I cannot stay with him. I am isolated and running into the wind. Birtlee man runs past me and I dig in behind him for some shelter and then Lofty from HBR sails past us both. So I step out from Birtlee man and try and stay with Lofty (working at 93% MHR here) Mile 5: 6.12 the last mile, Lofty puts in a kick and I just cannot hang onto him. Bu@@er, Birtlee man catches me and runs past me, double bu@@er – but he only gets 5 yards on me. With about 300 meters to go I raise my effort to “fast finish” mode. I cruise past Birtlee man and wheeze my way to the finish line in at 96% MHR for a time of 29.40 (my time). I was hoping for a sub 29 minutes but everyone’s time was shot to pieces in the last two miles. I am still being beaten by runners who I (hopefully) will run past in a months time. A goodly outing in a very well organised event. Thoroughly enjoyed the racing with Mr Birtlee and Lofty. Another good run in the legs.

Gasheader Poorly first half of this week, now having a few days rest and will give it a blast on Sunday,not 100% but may sneak a PB as coarse is flat and fast. Good and Bad news - Ran new PB , Still think this the worst run of my life . Set of fast but missed first mile marker fretting on how fast I was going got to 10mins and both calves started to tighten by 2 miles 13min 40 but now in pain and running with straight legs mile 4 at 27:50 last mile 7min 16 sec including a feeble attempt at a sprint. Great news no symptoms of Flu temp etc so killed off most of Virus , but still caughing like a 60 a day man. Legs still acking today but managing recovery runs . Im confident I can knock another min off this time,
