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!

Themobird - I can say categorically that she is under achieving given her short speed ability. A good well thought out training plan followed properly would see her run faster.

I have no reservation about saying it and will look at anyones numbers do the maths and say the same thing.

Lets be frank though I think I have under achieved at the marathon distance

Let's be honest, none of us are elites, not even the fastest most arrogant (you know who you are) club runners have the right to be so up themselves about their times

Let's just enjoy ourselves out there

I don't quite see why this thread has suddenly got so negative. Very RWish if you ask me. Since when on Fetch did we start bombarding people who disagree with a point of view, with so many negative posts the way D2D has?

D2D has her training method. Some people disagree. Fine, let's leave it at that.

I will say that Gobi is usually correct when it comes to these things though. Especially about him underachieving at the marathon! ;-) Which, by the way, I expect I shall do at London as well, even having done 7 20+mile runs in my 16wk build-up.
