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!

Thanks Baz.

Have you done the 2400m test?

no, never tried that

I am no expert but that seems a bit counter intuitive to the plan. Those reports that I have read on here suggested inconsistent results and I prefer to just monitor my stats over a period of time and look for trends. If I wanted a test I would probably do a parkrun, but again am not doing so and giving the approach my full attention

Yes Baz I lived there in the 90s and did my 10M pb there in 92. Also was runner up in a thing called the Fairlands XC trophy - a park I trained in virtually every day. I think in those days there were two clubs, Stevenage and North Herts AC and the newer Fairlands Valley Spartans who were more into road running. I stuck with my London club though (Highgate).

Both Stevenage and North Herts and Fairlands Valley Spartans are still going. I turned out for SNH in the midweek league as my club doesn't enter.

They have a parkrun now in Fairlands and often my route takes me through there!

Potatoes ! Don't keep digging them up !

Beats per mile monitoring is more informative and less stressful. :)

Hills of Death (HOD)
I've never heard of Stevenage Striders 😲. Done the midweek Stevenage 10k I think ironically organised by NHRR

Only a small but growing club HOD.

Yes I see that a couple of years ago that NHRR had their MWL fixture in Stevenage . Not sure they do every year (I could be wrong!)

I do think that the Hadd test and the Maf test are throwbacks to the days of stopwatches. We are statted up to the eyeballs on Fetch and strava so you get a constant feedback on your training progress, particularly if you run a regular route or routes. Parkruns are ideal for checking too
