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!

You are speedy tho bob - didn't you do Dereham in under an hour?

I've only been running about 2 years and 9mtsh of that has been with pelvic problems so i'll never be speedy. Im oh so slow. I like it comfortable, it hurts my sagging flab less ;-)

I started back running aged 46 and did my first half marathon in 1.34 three months later. Now down to 1.18.58 and hoping to knock at least a couple of minutes off that before I crumple in to dust. You've got loads of improvement in you yet!

I think that's a good idea Gobi.

You're such a slacker, after all ;)

lol Finders! You're doing great and 2 years is not enough time to reach anything like your potential. I've been running for nearly two years now and honestly expect to get a lot quicker yet.

Did Dereham in 58.15 which is my best race so far :-) I even won a tiny trophy for second vet

DrBob - I'm sure you're right. Time and training will tell :)

Training is apparently a good idea, according to many of the leading books on the subject!

I've heard this. I thought it was one of those Old Wives Tales. :)

I think it might be to be honest EB, but it's worth a try anyway :-)
