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!

Yorkshire FETCH Mile 2 - that's right we're at it again!

Hello winniefree, and well done :) I will have nightmares about that hill, but we did alright! The sun was a bit of a frustration - where has been it been all week, and why did it have to come out so strongly with 3K to go? Gah!
Lots of congrats to go round today - well done roo, haddi and YP1 :)

Well done all who got PBs today...my attempt at a PB in the GYR 10k ended up in frustration and sore calves/soleus/achilles.

Started off OK, hit the first 1K in 4m:20, the 2nd in 4m:21 then it went down hill from there. My calves started to tighten up after around 2.5K and I had to start a cycle of stop/stretch/run for the rest of the run. I tried everything I could do to ease the stiffness (re-lacing my shoes, taking off my sock on the right foot, massaging my calves etc.) but it just wouldn't ease.

In the end I limped home (quite literally) in 54m...around 10 minutes slower than I was hoping for. :-(

I've now pulled out of Mablethorpe 10k next Sunday and I am seriously considering pulling out of the GNR...

:-( :-( :-(

It was good to see Roo at the finish line, she did well and looked like she had given her all...well done Roo, good effort :-)

Well done on eveyone's PBs :-)

I got a big fat shiny PB today at Leeds Half Marathon. I knocked more than 8 1/2 minutes off my previous best by my watch time. My official time is not up on the results site yet but it can't be too different. Needless to say I am well chuffed :-)
