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!

Steve Zodiac Running and training for marathons was becoming too hard but I wanted one more sub 3 hour so I could 'retire' on a high. PHEW ! Just made it with 45 seconds to spare.

Matt the Brum Well organised event on a lovely day. Started mid padk in a very congested start. Took first half steady (1:37). Legs felt ok so picked up the pace for 2nd half. Made up about 50 places in the last 10 miles. Finished 21st in 3:02:01.

Crash Hamster I'm afraid I'm going to have to bore you all with a race report...it's 9pm, I have a celebratory Pimm's and lemonade in my hand (gay, moi?) and I feel absolutely fine at the moment... Race morning involved the usual mixture of porridge, Vaseline and visits to the toilet. We drove to Stratford, had a nice chat with the world-famous Plodding Hippo then toddled off to the start. Twas a bit crowded for the first two or three miles, but I was running on heart rate (150 as you ask) which should have got me to 20M in three hours...it felt so good at sixteen that I had quite an emotional couple of minutes as I realised that my sub 4 was on the cards. The next four miles were torture as I fought the urge to sod my HR and go for it. At 20M, I reasoned that I had completed my IM training run and could now race a 10k. To borrow a phrase from someone whose marathon report I read before the big ones, I opened the taps and brought it home...thanks Ratcatcher :o) 51:51 down the Greenway, passing other runners all the way. Final time was 3:51:41 (add 1 minute for clock time) against a previous best of 4:08:33...not bad for a fat blook :o)

Tri Foxy Really enjoyed this race, I had not trained well so I did not have any great expectations. This was just good fun and everything that I think running should be about.

Iron Squishy Watch time! PB for me - really chuffed! Everything went well, bit worried that I'd gone off too fast as I was 9 min miling for first 6 miles so eased off a bit. Mile markers seemed to come up really quickly, knew by 22 miles that I'd do it!! Very tired, sore but happy!

expatria DNF. :-( Hopped on curb at mile 17; stepped straight into a hole. Twisted my knee and ankle; may have stress fracture. Hobbled to mile 18 (actual time was 3:20 when I walked off, but did not want to list that as it would look like a PB); got lift from lovely medics. Cruised through 13.1 at 2:11, was looking @ 4:30 PB when I fell. I'm totally gutted. I need a hug. Stratford: lovely, some hills. If you do 26.2 and won't have friends running with you, take music: lap 2 is lonely. Good conditions. Well organized, nice locals.

plodding hippo Bottled out of this 2 years ago-and did the half First time ever of 3 marathons in 3 weeks the 11.8 mile cutoff thing makes pacing a joke but a sub 5.30 finish will do me just fine.Job done!
