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!

Great stuff, 12bD and jennywren.

I may have a pop at 70% on Saturday, but unlike last year I won't be racing enough distances to have the Silver Standard by the end of January.

I’m much quicker (proportionately) over short distances but I’m marathon training now so any more silver standard things will be later in the year. All these old birds doing marathons need to slow down!

I got a bundle of mid-70s (max 77) at shorter distances while or just after marathon training, but only 71.XX for the marathon itself.

25.32 over 5km for 70%. It'll be tight at my current fitness level, but there's only one way to find out.

I just squeaked to a 2019 70% Fetch standard on the final day of the year! Talk about leaving it to the last moment ;-)

Good luck V'rap! In my imagination all parkruns near you are basically short fell runs and therefore worth more than the % achieved.

Brilliant, Flatlander :)

Goofee, three of my closest parkruns are on tarmac and no more than gently undulating. My 76% for 5km at Workington last year definitely wasn't worth more than that.

WAVA really ought to be my future goals. Prob is I don't really race enough short distances. 74 or 75 is where I want to be. 5k hopefully but half might be a struggle. Need to actually book some races in! :-) G
