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!

Hollywoof! Thames Towpath Ten - 10 miles. Current PB - just over 1:14 set during MK Half a few weeks ago. Target time - Plan to go out fast just like at MK Half and see if I could break 1:12:30... Splits.... Mile 1 - 7:48 - what happened to the plan??? Curses! Mile 2 - 7:16 - realise I'm over a minute behind the splits I did at MK Half - oops. Mile 3 - 7:18 - gorgeous running alongside the Thames and Kew Gardens - the wind against us but the sun getting warmer. Mile 4 - 7:19 - feeling slight twinge in right leg - why did I race the 5km yesterday? Why did I go for that cycle ride yesterday? Doh! Mile 5 - 7:17 - half way in 36:58 - easy to work out I'm just inside my current PB but way outside the target time of 1:12:30... ho hum Mile 6 - 7:11 - turn away from the towpath back and onto some pavement running. Mile 7 - 7:06 - work out it's a 5km left to run and try to push Mile 8 - 7:19 - mind under matter again - I should just stop pushing... it always seems to make me slower! Mile 9 - 7:09 - watch tells me I have to make the last mile a 7:20 to get under 1 hour 13 minutes so just need to keep going... Mile 10 - 6:26 - that's a new mile PB :-) Time at finish 1:12:07. Cloud nine for me - much faster than I'd hoped despite the slow start - and I'm not talking to anyone who ran the race with a Garmin (just in case!)

Andrew I'm sticking my neck out and predicting I do better than 8 minutes per mile.It's supposed to be a flat course,after all.

Kinsey Nice day for it! Started off sunny but clouded over. It felt like there were more people than last year, and possibly a quicker field as well (but maybe I imagined it). It was the first time I've run 10 miles for quite a long time, but I did a similar time at the Cabbage Patch last Oct so I was pretty pleased. Opened up in the last half mile to try and catch Stumpy but missed it by a couple of seconds. Maybe next time! It's a great race anyway if anyone is contemplating it for next year!
