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!

Haha, that's a good one.

Is that retired marathoner taking up ultras or going for shorter races?

Bazo, I'm using the expression "Graduated Sub 3 Marathon Runner" rather than retired, if that's OK with you?! ;-) :-) G

No desire to do an ultra. Parkrun and 10k plus an occasional half maybe.

Graduated sub three works for me :-)

I can wholeheartedly recommend not doing ultras. Messy business. :-) G

I just can’t get my head around an ultra. That said after my first half I decided not to do a marathon as I was so broken and couldn’t comprehend doing the same distance again.

I must have run a dozen or more marathons now faster than twice that 1:36 half.
