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, SailorSteve, I'm glad I could string together several months of training without injury or illness.

Have a good one tomorrow, Hills of Death (HOD), Oscar the Grouch and Fenland Flier. Fingers crossed for a PB performance, SB or whatever you're aiming for.

Oops, sorry I was going to do Boston but I'm not. I haven't entered anything this year yet. I started working 6 days a week in December and I just didn't fancy the training, I felt a bit down at the start of the year and just haven't had the motivation to commit to the training. I have ran an 18 and 20 miler in my running recently and I could get around a marathon but I couldn't race one. I may consider an autumn one.
Good luck to everyone targeting a time.

Not quite for me today. 3.34.14 which is a 30 second pb (they all count, right?). Not enough - not any, let's face it - MP miles meant the wheels came off a bit at 20 miles. That and at least half a stone too heavy!!

That’s a great time and a well deserved PB Oscar, congratulations👏👏👏 Recover well👊

Half a stone and a fair crack at a training block must bring 3:30 into puking distance!
