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?

Well done Mischappo, great result.

I had a brill run cos I actually ran most of it, never mind the wind, the rain or the cold, not even the blocked snotty nose stopped me today 5.12 miles in just under an hour - I ran - I feel great (okay totally bloody knackered now but nothing a warm bath and early night wont fix) :-)

I turned a bad day - Into a good one

A day that could have been a complete disaster, was put right by solid physiological thinking , and mental tactics

Today we were supposed to be at Stevenage HM- it would have been our 174 th HM together, things were going fine in preparation ( what prep we have that is ), there is no physical or mental preparation - only making sure our bags are packed

Everything was packed last night to go - even the food in the fridge was ready - then personal problems set in - which gave me a bad night, I was up 3 or 4 times, and when the alarm went off at 5.30, I was just shattered, too tired to worry about driving for around 2 hours - I’d of spent as much time driving as I would have running

So, that was plan A completely out of the window, -

so morning came, I set about sorting Phillip out with breakfast and medication - and then sorted my wife’s medication and breakfast - my wife said I’m ok if you want to take Phillip off for a while, I can phone you if I need you if you stay home Phillip will drive us mad

By this time I was feeling very subdued and demoralised - so we set off, I knew that our favourite haunt was Draycote Lake for walking or running , it’s only 45 mins drive away - we got there, I knew that this training session would be the key to my day - but I had to put it together mentally

So, I changed Phillip ready and prepared myself - set my watch and off we went, on lap 1 - 4.8 miles, for the first few minutes I felt out of sorts, depressed , not caring, - the target was 2 laps or if possible, but I’d prefer 3 laps for 14.4 miles

So, we settled down remembering what it was all about, 1 lap was done in 48 minutes, was feeling ok, stared lap 2 , knowing this wasn’t physical fitness or stamina, this was solely about physiological belief and mental stamina - it stared feeling good, lap 2 was completed we had an overall time of 1.38 - we set about our 3rd lap, this was the final one, the target and the magic one as we had to set about on our way home, we cruised it in an overall time of 2.28

It was just what I needed, I felt good, running and fresh air had done the trick once again -

Running if only a training run on our own had turned what could have been a disastrous day into a good day

14.4 undulating and windy miles in 2 h 28 mins
