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

Good to hear you're back at it gdawg.

I've been ticking over, posting just north of 50m per week which is plenty with no immediate marathon on horizon. Up in Newcastle next weekend for the masters 10k race. It's a distance that seems to have become my least successful distance last 4 years or so. Hoping the fact that I'm heavily invested financially and time wise in the event might push me on when the quit thoughts kick in.

I've always heard Abingdon was a great marathon, not so sure anymore after all these reports. Would you guys still recommend it?

We've focused on the subway which is 50m of awkward. The race itself as a whole was great.

Got something to say?
