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!

A regular bloke who gives up his job to chase his running dream in Japan.
His ambition "to be the slowest person ever to become a pro runner".
His motto "train harder not smarter".
2:17 marathoner who goes all the way, moves to Japan, learns Japanese, and trains like they do in Japan: high mileage.

The guy is humble, witty, tongue in cheeck and of course a very good runner.

It's his philosophy. He is not the most talented runner but he is trying to compensate for it by training the hardest. He's doing crazy mileage. That is what training harder means for him.
No double threshold, complicated intervals or other fancy stuff, just a lot more miles than everybody else.

Not the 2:12 he was hoping for, but still a PB.
It was rather warm if I’m not mistaken.

Got something to say?
