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!

Thank you 😊 I started the year with 22:30 or thereabouts so I've done some work but the last minute will be much harder to shed

Sounds very similar tipsku, after injury it's a struggle to get back to sub 22 then a drag to sub 21. I've had a few issues the last few years, sciatica being the worst one to deal with.

Weird thing is I am on less miles than I'd like, but main difference is I have been doing weights consistently for just over a year (not entirely sure what I am doing but getting more knowledgable) so maybe that is starting to pay off & also being lighter helps.

Good luck with the progress.

Got something to say?
