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!

Boingy Well I got a new PB, which I'm chuffed about, but can't help feel a little disappointed. Was secretly aiming for 1hr35min, but just didn't have it in me. Started off ok at a good pace, felt a little low in energy but was on for 1hr36-ish at 10miles so was happy enough. But then between 10 and 11 miles I just died on my feet, thought I was going to chuck up, and had to dig really deep just to finish.....yes it was that bad. I think my pre-race routine wasn't good, didn't sleep brilliantly, and breakfast wasn't what I normally have, plus it was warmer than I'm used to racing in, about 22degC at the end. Lesson learned there I think. But hey, I have a shiny new PB :-), the race course and organisation was excellent (spot prizes included 5* trip to Marrakesh marathon, LCD TV, mountain bike etc...shame I didn't win anything), and the french support was just fantastic. Less than 2hrs on the Eurostar to Lille from London, so dead easy to get to !! Definitley be back next year to get that sub 1.35. :-)
