And I'm in I suspect a very small percentage of Fetchies to have done a 25K race (Berlin). HM and a bit is a fine idea, it's a very long step between HM and marathon.

mr d Dec 2016 5:40pm, 3 Dec 2016 2,416 posts	0 mr d We have a nice may/June/July Friday 5 series of races in Suffolk, only done one road 10k, prefer 5 and HM. That said we have a new 10k in August and I am looking forward to it.
The_Saint Dec 2016 7:04pm, 3 Dec 2016 5,947 posts	0 The_Saint Reverse 10 Brecon 10 Elan 10 Teifi 10 are the only road 10 milers I can think of in the whole of South Walies, the Teifi 10 at Lampeter on Easter Sunday is a personal favourite of mine http://www.fetcheveryone.com/route-1770455 despite the slightly madcap bit in the town in the first mile. There is also something in there for Little Britain fans if you expand the map a bit

stevieg Dec 2016 5:57pm, 24 Dec 2016 9 posts	0 stevieg so much that I posted before i'd finished!! No edit or delete button on here then? But no, a 5miler seems the same sort of pace as a 10k, but clearly that 1.2miles less helps a lot. And there's no messing around with the maths to account for that 0.2mile either. Love a 5 miler.
