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 was your run today?

WoooHooo - well done eL Bee! :-)

I can't match that, but I did do my longest run ever today. A very hilly 20 miler in just under 3:03 - very pleased with that :-) very close to target pace of 9 m/m but last hill put pay to that.

I NEED FOOOOOOOOOOOOOD :-)

1st race this year (a hilly 5km round/to the top of the Great Orme) and 1st race with new club. Struggled a wee bit up the last climb (lack of races?), but really pleased with the result - 4th overall, but got trophy as 3rd under 40. :-)
Also met my 1st Fetchie, dpryce, who was instrumental in me going to the running club I joined :-)

Howden 5K :-( :-( :-@

Although I’ve only been running a short while I expect most people will have never experienced a race quite like this one.

The route was poorly marshalled, there were missing direction markers (resulting in most people becoming hopelessly confused, lost and runners making up their own routes. We had runners who finished after running anywhere between 2 and 5 miles. The first runner home was confused when he saw a time of a little over 11 minutes (I guess he had done less than the 5K otherwise he is probably the fastest 5K runner on the planet!).

The actual course route was poor, as we ran through many crowds of people going to the Howden Show. The sprint finish was dangerous, with runners having to negotiate families and people queuing for the snack bars on the way to the finish line.

Shambolically enjoyable. First staging of a local 10k. Everyone got lost at 4k and then again at about 9k thanks to a lack of marshalling and signing, so no times given out or places. Runners were arriving at the finish from all directions. My legs were very tired from Wednesday's race, so I wasn't too distraught. Disappointed for a friend of my who was leading and sort of "won" but missed out on a winners medal and prize as the organisers abandoned the results. Scenic a challenging course which would be a good test. Hopefully things will be sorted out for next year.
