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!

I keep having this thought that I should try to get to 100 before my 50th birthday but then have another thought that getting to 100 won't be the end so why hurry?

Once you reach the 100 there is a tendency (for me at least) to wonder what all the rush is about, especially if you don't have particular inclination towards 200 and beyond. Got to keep it in perspective so that you still love what you do and let the numbers take care of themselves. 100 to 150 is hard going in keeping the enthusiasm going.

Looking at my kit list for the Spine race, I thought getting to 100 maras was expensive. ;-)

I have always wondered what the rush is to get to 100 marathons (other than for record holders like Traviss and Naomii).

I'm on 17 since January 2011. I'm now off running for at least month so the plan to finish on 20 overall in 2013 hasn't gone as expected. 100 before 50 (or in the same year as turning 50) is the aim.

I made a few decisions running Nottingham marathon on Sunday which will oddly turn out for the best. As my lovely friend who was tolerating me said.."only do them because you enjoy them. Don't purely chase numbers." she's right!
