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!

How do folk fuel a 10k? It seems a bit borderline as to whether you would take a gel mid race or not? I am also diabetic so can get a bit weebly if I run out of glucose on a training run. I am back running after a 10 year break and have my first 10k on Sunday and have forgotten what I did before.

I don't think you need to fuel a 10km esp. if you have something to eat an hour or so beforehand, but I have no clue re the diabetes (sorry). Good luck x
