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!

If running fast works for you Saint then fantastic, go for it! Nobody is telling you to go slow, just that some of us enjoy it :)
Run Wild by Boff Whalley is a great book about running and appreciating the scenery, really lovely writing.

Richard Askwith’s follow up to Feet in the clouds has a similar theme too

Tomorrow is the big Scottish Fetch mile. With added parkrun

I think I’ll adopt the mimble approach to the parkrun so I can give my full attention to the mile

Anything slow Greg me thinks walk, jog, amble, steady away on bicycle

My problem with the books was both were kind of preaching to the converted ;)

No-one should ever 'preach' to anyone about running. Nor indeed about anything else (eg what to eat, what to drink, what to wear).

I've friends who like nothing more than to run against the clock. They get both satisfaction and achievement by hitting a targeted pace. That's absolutely brilliant and all power to them. Genuinely.

Just not for me any more. I much prefer 'ambling along'.

Got something to say?
