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!

Watcher TomahawkMike... and good luck Jenny.

1500 IS only 3 and 3/4 laps. Easy for a distance runner! Just like a warm up! ;-)

I ran an 800 a couple years ago... and walked the back straights! That's how much of a sprinter I am. Far too long!

My lack of running anything over 150m for the past few months has even told on my 100ms. I MUST re-introduce 200-300 over winter.

It's alright working on my speed and block starts (which are much improved) - but if I can't sustain the speed over one bloody straight it's a poor show!

Thanks. Will be interested in the effect on the wava, if any. Won't be chasing too much for a month as have a couple of half marathons starting with Great North Run next weekend.

Hi TM. Welcome, but a warning - these 60s suddenly go serious after the frivoloties of the 50s ...

I do admit this is more a focused running/training/related stuff than the 50s one. That was my intention anyway.

But it has to be FUN or why bother?
If you get to 60 and are doing something just cos you think you 'should' then something's up!

Did you enjoy it? Did you pace it? Run fast and hold on?
