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'm staying by the coast this weekend - blimey it's windy! I'm hoping it gets warmer and less windy for Brighton...

I've decided to run Brighton "naked" - my Garmin will be used to count down intervals (I'm experimenting with run 4.5 minutes, walk 30 seconds) but I won't be able to see my pace. I'm going to run based on feel and see what happens. No pressure, it's an experiment :)

It's a bit of a worry isn't it, Jo? No idea what the weather will be like but hopefully not too hot (Sorry Mrs W).

The only guarantee is that I'll be wearing my tights, don't do shorts lol

I too will be running naked MrsW, I've banned myself from my Garmin as I only get stroppy/stressed when I'm running too slow for my liking or too fast. So no garmin for me either!
