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!

There's also a very active C25k group on Facebook, but they already have their own little community going. The good thing about fetch is that it encompasses all abilities, speeds, distances etc, so you can see that, for example, someone similar to you only started running a couple of years ago, was as shit as you are, and has improved lots since then. It's very inspiring :)

He he yes but then you wouldn't know who I was! Healthunlocked is affiliated to the NHS. They have lots of different forums the couch to 5k or c25k is just one of them and I'd say could be a good beginners site to link with. Lots of the users are just starting their running journey and looking for support as they complete the program. There are also users like me who completed the programme

I've not used this site much- do you all use the training tabs to log training etc? I found this site through the training plans from Google .

I was going to ask how you found fetch. Most people use the site to log training, yes.

I found fetch via googling 'log running' or something, I kept losing my scraps of paper and thought there must be a technical solution. Unfortunately I then fell into the 700 thread and these crazy people made me do crazy races...

Welcome. I use it to log runs. And talk sh*te.

There's plenty of us this time of year trying to juggle running with snotty families.

I can't imagine getting into fetch through finding training plans as other places on line seem to have them there in a more easy to find manner.

I could be wrong though - my current do summat three times a week plan doesn't appear anywhere ;-)
