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!

Beautiful photo LN
Well done Linds
I just want parkrun to come back. At the beginning of 2020 after on/off running and volunteering with parkrun over the year I decided to use parkrun to get back into regular running. I did it every week with K, it was such a great start to the weekend and we did a bit of local tourism too, which was fun. Then we had a pandemic ..

Info through today from my Vets (that's codgers, that's over 35s) Club.

...Already planning its first events for April 2021. We are hoping to host a 5km road race and sprints track meeting at Wimbledon Park, similar to the one cancelled in December 2020. The date of 11 April is a possibility. Giuseppe Minetti, our Track & Field Secretary, is also working on a VAC event at the Lee Valley indoor and outdoor athletics tracks on Sunday 18 April. Throughout the year, we aim to offer a full programme of track, field, road and off-road competition. Look out for details and dates.

Which sounds hopeful.
Obvs events are dependent on how things look nearer the time, but there's no harm in personally planning.

No they say they can’t give a date for Scotland, Wales or NI yet as the governments haven’t given details yet. Looks like they could go earlier here, but have decided to wait a bit, which makes sense.

By that I mean making sure one is as near to comp/race fit as possible. I think that's what Pix and V-rap are both doing.

About This Thread

starblackheartstar The sixth running of Do a New Thing for Spring starblackheartstar

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
