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!

Hi all,

First up, hope everyone who took part in the big marathon today got round, enjoyed the run and... maybe... got a PB!

When I say 'big marathon' I'm referring, of course, to the Loch Ness Marathon, although I think there was one down south too, if I'm not mistaken? I suspect the scenery of the one down south doesn't compete with Loch Ness though - it's fabulous. I did it in 2010 and will not hesitate to recommend it. As for me today, Mr Parky decided to give me a sore tight right calf muscle this morning but I still managed about 3.3 miles at roughly 10mins/mile. And that was alternating: 1 min forward run, 1 min fast walk, 1 min backwards run, 1 min fast walk (forwards) - and repeat. I think I need a rear view mirror.

As for my marathon, it's scheduled for late May 2022 (Edinburgh Marathon) so it's still a while before I need to think about a running programme leading to it. Have a good weekend everyone, what's left of it anyway...!
