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!

WP - no, not yet. Sciatica limiting my distance. Managed an 8 mile run this week and will finish the week near 40mpw.

I'd be quite happy to run the first 10 miles and run/walk the final 16 but my sciatica kicks in and affects my walking too.

Next target is Windermere, but that's looking a bit doubtful too.

Was looking forward to having a catch up with you, maybe next year. 🙂

HOD - are you doing the marathon?

You should be 100% well again by race day. You'll need to do a reverse taper 😉

Shades I was looking forward to catching up as well- as you say next year fingers crossed for us both. But 40 miles from where you were is great mileage and shows progress.
Which marathon are you aiming for May-June time?

HOD that is good news and means you will be at the start line.
