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 have never worn spikes. Saying that, most XC I have done are more like trail races. When I 1st did XC, I owre hybrid trail shoes which were fine. Since then, Innov8 flyrocs and mudroc 280's have been fine. And I have a pair of X-Talon 212's on order.

Bt, XC isn't that important to me. It's a means of getting a nice, hard, workout and sharpening up for the target races. And I usally enjoy it :)

As a coach once said to me.

"If you run cross country properly...it ain't fun".

i was at Markeaton as well LL. hard to find fetchies in club vests. A nice day for a gentle XC, not a demanding course but knackering for a man of my fitness. Still i was pleased with my time, it's the first speed work i've had since April.

Very disquieted when i got home to see a film called Destination Gobi on the telly though ;-)
