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!

About Me
I took up running back in 1993 aged 16 as something to do over the summer and used to train before my part-time job started at 7am. Whereas lots of people say "I haven't run since school" for me it's "I didn't run until I left school"!

Did my first marathon (London) in 1995 (age 18) in 5h37m! For a few years thereafter I ran intermittently but still did the occasional marathon and improved each time.

After never really committing to a running club, I joined Stourbridge RC in late 2006, have continued to improve and have never looked back. Despite cutting down my training since our first-born arrived in November 2008 I've somehow continued to improve.

As I write in June 2011, this year's already included PBs at 10k, 5 miles and 5k. I'll probably make an attempt on my half marathon PB in the autumn (before our second-born arrives!) but have quit marathons for the time being after 7 attempts and a best of 3:29.

I also dabble in a bit of fell running with a best time of 1:36 (in the rain!) for the Snowdon International (that's the one that goes straight up and down). I have to limit it as it tends to cause me back trouble but there's nothing better than running out there in the hills.
