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!

I've downloaded a 'sample' onto my laptop and am unable to decide whether it is good, deep, affirming stuff, or whether it is neo-hippy twaddle. Views, please?

What ogee said.

Funnily enough the book is rather repetitive too!

This blog (Binks's) is (a) much more informative and (b) far better written:

Not a book I'd recommend. Bit of a ramble really.

Isn't running all about trying to recreate the feeling of youth and yet at a deeper level a fruitless attempt to stave off death? Or is it all adulation and lycra?

The former, Rich my splendid friend. The latter is called 'cycling'.

That's all about the bike. I don't believe that Lance Corporal Armstrong. He's barely a proper NCO.
