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 has training REALLY gone?

Sounds totally normal and entirely positive to me @Surrey Phil . You’ll feel better next time, I’m sure

Just got to look for the positives and enjoy it on the day! Never forget it's a privilege to get to do these events. There are people who would love to be in your position

Well, the 50 miler I haven't trained for is this Saturday.

I'll have limited wifi/signal/phone battery, so wish me luck!

I actually feel fairly calm.
Flapping more about getting there in an old shed of a van, finding something to eat, have I packed the right clothing options etc etc.

The 50 miles is the easy bit!

Just taping up my map sheets now.

I nearly managed a pull up tonight, and set a deadlift PB, so very well :-)

About This Thread

Maintained by SilentTim
For those doing a spring marathon... How has your training REALLY gone?

I follow lots of other runners on Instagram. Yesterday it felt like all of their posts were about their wonderful 18 milers. Congrats to them if they did that and I'm genuinely happy for them.

We all know social media can sometimes paint a fake picture of life though and sometimes other things get in the way of training. So let's consider this a safe space and keeping it real thread - how has your training ...
