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!

Met a lady who was on 488 parkruns last weekend. She is 94. And she is now on 489 parkruns, albeit needing a rolling walker to make it round these days, and is no longer knocking off the mid-70s WAVAs she achieved up to age 90. Amazing.

Wow, @Badger, that's really impressive! I hope I'm still that active at that age!

I wet to Uni in Cardiff, Welsh cakes were a great discovery Gobi 👌

As far as running goes I'm sure many of us are playing the long game.
