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!

Thanks all. Hmmm. I may look for a nearer venue. Mind you it's not that far is it? I'm really looking forward to this 😄

All very quiet in here, hope everyone's training is going well. Those of us on an 18 week plan are already in week 6, and those going for a shorter 12 week plan will be kicking things off in earnest next week

I feel I'm going well at the moment, and really looking forward to 2 Halfs and 2 10ks in the next couple of months

Finally got around to getting a hotel booked. Staying just off the M6, and will drive to Sale Water Park park-and-ride on the morning - thanks again Nelly for that recommendation.

You're not wrong Gus, it's very quiet in here... possibly because I have been AWOL for a while ;-)

Looking at your training, no wonder you're happy with where you are at the minute, last Sunday's run especially, you seem to be building well.

My AWOL was due to a combination of work pressures (1 week), out the country on business (10 days), illness (3-4 weeks). I've just done my third 10k run in consecutive days, so hopefully I can build to a reasonable fitness level (but not PB-shape) by race day.

All going well for me, PBs at 5 and 10k in late December is the best start to a campaign I could have hoped for and I'm looking forward to the race. Just getting into the meat of the training though.

I bit the bullet and paid the full, exorbitant entry fee. It had better be an improvement on the shambles of 2016. Staying in the Old Trafford PI, pleased that the derby game is at the Etihad! Training going ok, although that is easy to say when I don't have a plan! (other than a Haddesque approach)

I'm nowhere but hopeful of being somewhere in a couple of weeks time and to be able to partake in an after-race meet-up / celebration!

Just deferred my entry as there is zero chance of being in shape to get round (not that optimistic about starting...)
Also cancelling my hotel booking so there'll be a room available at travelodge salford quays for a bit.
