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 always go out too fast but 6/1 is just ridiculous. Will I ever learn? (Probably not) :-)

D2D, you know a fair few runners from local clubs, so why not try finding one that ususally runs around the time that you are aiming for and then go with them. Will keep you from going too fast at the start and will hopefully help drag you along if needed for the last mile or so

Half Empty - Didn't recognise anyone last night, only a friend of mine from Sphinx AC but he ran slower than me. Plus, you never know what time they will run. I saw a runner I recognised from Banbury at Weston but she ran about 4 minutes slower than her PB so can't always reassure on other people to pace you. May do this at Town & Gown though... are you in for that?

I'm marshalling at T&G so will see you as you fly past. I suppose if they do start slower then you can gradually pick the pace up a bit, get the satisfaction of passing people rather than spending most of the race being passed! It will still fulfill the purpose of making sure you don't burn yourself out in the first mile

Yes, I do need to curb my enthusiasm at the start - it's always been a problem for me. I just can't wait to get going though, it's like in marathons, first half I always run about same as HM pace and then just die from about 18 miles on. Oh well, not the end of the world. Plus some guy who lives round the corner from me (who I'd never met before!) let me follow him home. Seemed like a good plan 'til he turned into Lewis Hamilton 90mph on the d/c way! Aaaargh.

Nowhere near your splits, D2D, but I didn't think they were too inconsistent - the slowest mile was, I think, the one when I was being blown backwards ....
