Race Pricing - crowdsourcing

5:34pm, 31 Jul 2017
I've just added some new fields to the race database to record the cost of entering that race. There are two fields - one for affiliated, and one for unaffiliated. I know there are potentially lots of permutations - like concessions for people over a certain age; early bird prices; etc. But I think that a record of the current price is a good indicator of where any given race is pitched.

So.

(Sorry Sharkie)

I've added those fields for the 'Add a race' page, so that in a few months, the majority of our races will have price info. Good huh? I smell some stats coming on. But in the meantime, it'd be great if all our existing listings could catch up.

I've built a page that will spit out ten random future races that don't have an associated price. If everyone could do *a few*, then we can get our listings up to date really quickly. And it's an interesting way to find out about random events :-)

Here's the randomiser:

fetcheveryone.com/race-unpriced.php

It's currently showing 1859 unpriced races. Race you to zero?

  • Great idea :)

    Done a few, will keep dipping in. Interesting variation in extra fees on top of the race price.

  • I've done the pricing for Lichfield 10k, but then when I went onto another event of mine, its £5.50 in advance or £7.50 on the day; do you want to expand the pricing options to allow for advance/on the day for affiliated & non-affilated?

  • I have noticed several where the cog is showing to update the url but the url is not showing, in those cases I've been adding http:// in front of whatever was already there and it worked. In some cases the URL was for a previous years event, I've been updating those as I come across them too.

    Another problem I've discovered is that it won't accept £0.00 as a price (such as for the great run local series, decathlon series and national trust 10K series) I'm tempted to price them at £0.01 if that works?

Appdate for Android and iPhone

11:01am, 27 Jul 2017
I've made some progress with the Android app (I've been watching lots of YouTube tutorials that have been excellent - the bloke giving them burps occasionally, and is very pleased with himself for having done so). I have built all the different screens (login, create account, choose activity, actual time/distance screen, etc), and am in the process of wiring up all the buttons and text fields to the code that makes it all work. Don't worry, I find it fun :-)

It's doubtful that I will get this live before the end of the month, although I will get as close as I can - but please be assured that I am putting the effort in. Responsibility for all aspects of the site means that I am often tied up mending or amending other stuff. Bit of a plug for voluntary subscriptions - the more people that can donate a few quid each month, the less time I have to spend working with advertisers. Here's the link if you're not a subscriber already: fetcheveryone.com/invite.php

Those of you with iPhones will hopefully have had the chance to try the iPhone app out now. It seems that we have a bit of an issue with the 'Pause' button at the moment, which is pretty annoying - my apologies for that. I will complete the basic Android app, and take everything I've learned from that and apply it to my next iPhone update.

Longer term, I am imagining that I will switch every month between Android and iPhone development, so that they both take steps forward at a more-or-less equal rate.

If you'd like an occasional fmail about the progress of the apps, join the following group: fetcheveryone.com/groups-view.php?id=1260

Inhalers

2:02pm, 25 Jul 2017
I've been using a blue 'reliever' inhaler before I go running for about 8 years now. Prior to that, I'd noticed that my breathing would get pretty tight, and I'd come back quite wheezy. I'd always been hesitant about taking any kind of medicine for my lungs, because I'd seen my grandpa go downhill to an uncomfortable end with chronic emphysema. Ok, I didn't spend 40 years smoking Woodbines either, but I was still nervous and a bit frightened about where it would lead.

Nowadays I'm fully used to taking a few puffs of my blue inhaler before running - and don't feel as though anything bad has happened - in fact, it's brought a lot of comfort to my running.

As part of having it, I have to go see the asthma nurse annually - and this year there's been a change of policy (at least as far as I know). Because I use the inhaler about 3 times a week, just about every week, the view is that I'm depending on it - so the latest thinking is that I should introduce a 'preventer' inhaler to help boost my lungs to the extent that I won't need the blue inhaler so much.

We left it that I would try to see what would happen if I actually use my blue inhaler LESS - on the basis that I viewed myself as very much on the edge of needing it at all. It's been awkward - I'm so used to using it. The thought of doing effort sessions without it isn't especially appealing, but I've tried to stop using it on recovery runs.

On the whole, I think I've done ok - but today's run was a bit of a slog. It's a 7.75 mile loop I do as my current long run - and I've done it most weeks for the last few months - but today was the first time without my inhaler. My heart rate was consistently at least 10 beats higher than it normally is at my comfortable pace; my breathing felt 'tighter' than it has done for ages; and I felt like I needed a heavy sit down when I finished. There were two caveats to counter that. It's only a week since I've given blood, so my blood may well be less efficient at transporting oxygen around my body; and secondly the atmosphere felt warm and humid.

My plan therefore is to try doing the run again next week, when my blood will have recovered somewhat, and hopefully the weather will be friendlier. But if the experience is similar to today's run, then I think I'll have to accept that I need to do that little bit more to enable my lungs to function at their best. This time round though, I'll also take my inhaler with me, so that if it's clear I need some help, I can get it straight away.

Over time I've bumped into a few people that sound as though they could probably do with having a chat with their GP about lung function - I guess I'm writing this as much for all those people as for myself. If you recognise the sort of symptoms I've described, or if you've seen them in a wheezy friend, then go get checked out - it can really make a hugely positive difference to your enjoyment of running.

  • I take a preventer twice daily. I didn't think I had a problem but apparently I did. I have never had an asthma attack and am now used to taking it. Although I do forget on occasions.

  • I take a preventer twice daily - I carry a blue inhaler on every single run, but thus far have never had to use it whilst running. It's a pain having to carry it, but I'd rather have that back up.

  • The practise nurse at my GP's once suggested I did the same with a blue inhaler while I got over a chest infection. I asked her specifically if I would end up dependant on it and she said no. I use one every now and again but it is usually at the start or end of a cold or other minor ailment.

  • I used to be really wheezy, to the extent that I couldn't really run. But I seem to have almost grown out of, helped by running I think. I have a symbicort inhaler, combination of a blue and brown one, but only really use it before a 5k or speed session. I don't take an inhaler when I run now.

  • I had the same advice from my GP - rather than taking the blue before exercise, start using the brown long term. However, I've been remiss - thanks for the reminder!

  • Youngest has been on a preventer for about four years now, the frequency of his needing the needing the blue one steadily decreased and bar trying to march him up a mountain today - he carries it mainly for reassurance

  • I'd say go for the preventative rather than suffering by trying to reduce the blue inhaler. I was taking the preventative brown and still needing the blue for running but now that I have my magic purple puffer which is preventative and long acting reliever I just have one puff of that twice a day and don't feel the need to even carry the blue one now.

  • I've taken a preventer for years - since getting Fostair (pink one) I've had much less wheeze on running - I now sometimes forget to take my blue inhaler with me on some runs (though I'm now limited in max HR by treatment to prevent another arrhythmia)
    LouLou

  • Preventer, works a treat. Carry the blue one, never use it, except the occasional puff if I remember before I set out...
    megster
    9:51pm, 25th Jul 2017
  • I have two different preventers and salbutamol but I'm a former smoker and I abused my lungs daily for more than 20 years. I have COPD and my lungs react poorly in cold weather which makes winter runs less fun than they should be.

    Like LouLou, I have a Fostair inhaler (two puffs a day) but I also have a Spyriva one (one capsule per day) and the salbutamol. I need the salbutamol before a hard session and I've been needing more than usual this past week or so.
    RichHL
    10:58pm, 25th Jul 2017
  • Slightly different experience to yourself. Through years of asthma reviews I now have a regular routine of using a preventer twice a day but still use blue reliver before run. Have tried changing things/doses but just made breathing worse. Everyone suffers slightly differently with asthma I guess.😀
    Stevewjj
    9:32am, 26th Jul 2017
  • I use a combi one. Symbicort. I really only take a puff or two before exercise and rarely need it any other time except maybe when I have a bad cold.

    5:55pm, 26th Jul 2017
  • I'm not asthmatic but I regularly get extremely tight-chested during runs, and always have done. I did have a blue inhaler for a while but it didn't seem to make any difference - however, I wasn't using it before running but during the run if I felt bad. I'm going to try it again.

Race listing omelette

4:06pm, 19 Jul 2017
Wowsers, this one burned a lot of logs.

By my reckoning, I've spent over a fortnight teasing out all the strands of code that handle race listings around the site, and remodelling them so that we can make room for a wider range of races.

A wider range of races?
Yep, tris, aquathlons (that's swimming and running), duathlons (a run followed by a bike and then a run), aquabikes (that's a swim and a bike), and time-fixed races (like 24hr 'how far can you run' challenges). And when someone invents a swim-then-run-then-sandwiches-then-bike-then-handstand-athon, the flexibility is ready to cope with it.

Handling these different race types gracefully has been a goal for several years, and it was time to bite the bullet and get it done, to make sure that our race listings remain the first port of call for anyone wanting to find an event; and also a priority to be listed for the folks who organise them.

In making this omelette, I have undoubtedly caused a fair bit of trauma in the egg department. But there's a limit to how much I can test the new functionality without going a bit nuts - so when it feels like what I've produced is ready to pass the sanity test, I tend to put it live and let the power of 90,000 eyeballs do what two can no longer see.

Therefore, when you're: searching for events; adding new events; fiddlin' with your portfolio; looking at race times in league tables; looking at graphs generated from race performances; or anything that involves our awesome race listings in some way or another, I'd be grateful if you could report any issues to me via the feedback link.

As always, it's most helpful if your bug report can include enough detail to enable me to reproduce your problem. Going "waaaaah, my stuff's all gone" is not especially helpful :-) Bear in mind that there are lots of similar pages on the site - so it helps if you can include some instructions on how you found your way to the problem.

Thanks :-)

  • Only just come across this, sorry! My main thing to be "fixed" here is tagging races alongside training. At the moment I log GPS traces with the "race" tag in my training log, but have to separately update the race details. Now I know that this is broadly sensible as my GPS recorded time may bear no resemblance to the actual outcome of the race for a whole variety of reasons. But I would like to be able to bring up a race listing and click straight through to the GPS trace in Fetch of my pacing for the day etc - and more than that, I'd like to be able to click into others too (assuming they are public of course). Just allowing me to put the activity unique reference into my outcome screen would work, with a bit of nice coding to make the link visible and clickable etc.

Coding and town planning

2:20pm, 7 Jul 2017
For the last few days, I've been working on code refactoring. That's a fancy word that means rewriting code in such a way that it's a bit neater / fit for purpose, but behaves in the same way as it did before. If I'm doing it right, you're probably wondering whether I'm here.

The site is now into its 14th calendar year - and the code has grown organically, which is a nice way of saying that it's a bit like a town planned by a lunatic. Refactoring is about making sure that people can still go where they want, but closing off unused side roads, redirecting traffic, and painting a few lines on the roads. It's all tied up in trying to understand what the future might hold, by trying to retro-fit sanity.

Here's a quick example. Our race listings are huge, and successful - lots of people use them to find their next race. But the system can only hold events that are a fixed distance. It can't cope with fixed-time races e.g. the Thunder Run (24hr team relay, where the distance covered will vary from person to person). Admittedly these races are relatively rare - but it's a typical coding platypus - a creature that doesn't fit into the system I've built to house the Fetch Universe.

If I was building from scratch, and I knew I had to allow fixed-time races as well as the more widespread fixed-distance races, it'd be pretty easy to allow for this. It's just an extra toggle in the listings that might say "fixed time" instead of "fixed distance", and a corresponding field on the results page that accepts a distance, rather than a time.

The problem comes when you need to apply a new feature to an existing system, and especially a teenage system. When I looked through the site, there were 116 different bits of code that create, read, update or delete (in the trade we call that 'CRUD' - or at least, I do) the race listings. They all work together pretty well, but in order to fit these platypus races into my database, lots of them would need to work differently.

It's not just about accommodating new features. It's also a historical treasure hunt for twattishness. I definitely need a getResultsForRaceX function, but do I need an almost identical (and yet subtly different one) called getWhoDidWhatTimesAtThatThereRaceX function? Probably not.

So whilst I've been a bit quiet, that's what I've been doing. And definitely not sitting around cultivating my vest tan and eating too many ice creams. Definitely. Not.

I also got this from one of the kids at Code Club yesterday :-)

  • Mmmmm cake, and happy refactoring. Really pleased your working on this particular problem as I have felt rather guilty for some time now that one of my races gives me a distance that I didn't actually achieve because of no fixed-time event option......soon I will be able to have guilt free cake :)

Please review your races

6:53pm, 4 Jul 2017
I'd like to make a bit more of the race review system that accompanies each race - I've added an overall percentage score for those races that have received at least five reviews.

I've also added a little flag thingy to your Race Portfolio, so you can see which races have a missing review. If you could throw a few in - even if it's just for 2016 and 2017, that'd be great - it'll be fascinating to see which races come out on top:

fetcheveryone.com/raceportfolio.php

(Of course, the Big Fetch Mile is on 100% - despite being marked down for water stations and PB potential ;-) )

  • Oh you've changed it up a bit! It still feels like it needs a submit or save button for the review though, you tick the numbers and it feels like you should click something else afterwards to make it official. And I just noticed the 'mail blog' tab, nice one! You're always tinkering with things to make them betterer, thank you :)

If you are one of these 10, I'll be chasing you at some point in the near future to get an MP3 of you saying something motivational that's suitable for a family audience :-) But probably not today!
