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!

Someone has popped up on a FB running thread. I do not know them. However, if genuine (and he probably is) he was genuinely very high level (sub 2:10 marathon). Unfortunately, he also seems to be a complete bawbag.

Even Fetchies give world class / superhuman times which are suspect. Just go to the Rank > Summary (All-Time) records for half-marathons and marathons and you'll see what I mean.

People who enter the London marathon ballot then spend early October saying "I hope I didn't get in, I don't really want to run a marathon, tee hee".

Some non news item on BBC TV about some bloke off strictly come dancing (that I don't watch) having a snog with someone who wasn't his girlfriend. FFS! THAT'S NOT NEWS!

[I'm one of those FLM rejects who is quite relieved not to have to do the training. But I would have been thrilled to get a yes.
