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

Gobi Race report from Spain Did the Salou half marathon Hills, heat, sand, wind and a lack of training but what the hell. Time 1.17.00 and 10th place No course research at all just drove to the race and decided on a what the hell approach. Went off in the second group as the leaders including the lead lady went off doing sub 3.16 km pace and I was back in about 20th place. After about 3kms I realised I was running a little easy so decided to push on 5kms came up in around 18 mins during the first climb. I was now moving through the field and could see a group of about 5 runners and the lead lady another 100 metres in front. Caught the group just before the 10km mark and went through in 36.06. Apart from being a little slow this felt fine as I had worked hard into the wind on hills alone to catch people. Pushed on up another hill with a breather for company, this was a pain as his pace was all over the shop but he stayed with me for about 2kms sometimes infront and sometimes behind. 16kms and I was clear but only about 10 seconds ahead of the lads I had caught at 10km. Worked up another series of hills and pushed off the top. I was toast, I turned for the run in over the last 3kms and 3 of the guys had caught me. TBH I was hanging on, dug in and stayed on the back. Slowly they pulled away from me but at 20kms I caught the lead lady who by now was lucky if she was running 4 min kms and pushed back past 1 of the 3 and on to the finish. All in all a good days work off very little training of late. Happy indeed, oh Rach ran 1.25.04 and was 3rd lady 45th overall getting a big trophy and 100euros NICE!!!!. Interestingly not many fun runners in a small field with a lot of runners under 90 mins and the top 400 or so were sub 1.45.
