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!

Notes & Comments

CHESTER MARATHON - 26.2 MILES - 4:04.14 - Personal best - Done !!!!!!

I'd planned to do a very big 'positive split', aiming for approx. 1:53/2:07. As it transpired, I went through half-way too fast in 1:50. So, I went to a walk/run strategy for the second half. I was still on course for a sub-4 finish until as late as 23 miles. However, during the last three miles, I had to deal with (a) cramping in a calf; (b) locking up for a while across the shoulders; and (c) the hill round mile 24/25 (too much for a treadmill runner lol). But thrilled nevertheless.
