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!

Well done to those who finished in difficult conditions too :)

Oatcake, I was tracking you (stalker alert ;-)) and I'm so pleased for you :)
That must be just short of a 20 min peebee :)

And I'm not thinking about next week just yet. :-O

Oatcake came flying past me at some stage, looking good and strong, what a fab result! The wheels fell off my bus rather early so I haven't even bothered to check my garmin time let alone official time :-)

Still a PB, J*C - thanks for the points! :-)

Very best of luck to everyone running this weekend at Manchester or MK - may your goals all hit the back of the net ;-)

Off to do a bit more wagering - no pressure folks ....

OK sign me up, Scotty. Having done 4.35 at Brighton I should be going for sub 4.30 now, although the chances of doing it at Halstead next month are pretty slim I would say (too soon, too hilly) and Beachy next September is NOT a PB course so realistically we are looking at spring maras next year, rather than this. Still, have a go, eh?
