Replacing the Who's Training page

5:23pm, 29 Jun 2020
Thanks for all your comments on my previous blog about the 'Who's Training' page (and related pages).

I've done some work on it today (after working my way through a bit of a hangover this morning), and have just put a new version live. Those of you who were worried that I might start adding 'like' buttons needn't fear - that was never the plan.

You can see the new version by going to Train > Who's Training:
fetcheveryone.com/whostraining.php

For comparison, I've left the previous incarnation of the page here for a while:
fetcheveryone.com/whostraining-old.php

Some changes to point out:

1) It doesn't hop about all over the place whilst it loads now. Which is nice. This was caused because the browser was continuously adjusting the width of the columns in the main table of data, to cope with new info as it was displayed. Download-size-wise, the page is smaller now - less than 50kb as I write; compared to 207kb for the old version.

2) I've ditched the endless split info (if you're interested, click the relevant training entry and go take a look at what that person did).

3) Also ditched the Follow buttons and 'add comment' links from the table. If you're interested enough to want to do either, you just need to go to the relevant training entry.

4) Likewise, I've ditched the 'Training Log Key' from over on the left. The new page indicates the sub-category of training if it's anything other than 'General'.

5) Switching view from run to swim to bike doesn't require a page reload now, so it's much quicker.

6) I've removed the 'buddies' view, and replaced it with a 'people you're following' option instead. This is part of a long-running project to get some consistency... buddying someone gives another person the option to see more of your profile... whereas following someone gives you updates on that person.

7) Tidied up all the nav links into nice easy-press buttons :-) You can quickly filter to just see your club(s) or the folks from your follow list.

8) The nav links also contain some summary info so you can see our mileage as a community during the day, and can quickly see if people from your club or your follow list have been active. For example, as I write, we've just gone through 5000 miles of running for the day.

9) I've added a pace column :-)

10) Instead of categorising by time of day, I've grouped the run, bike and swim tables by distance, and then sorted each group by pace. Makes it possible to see who's done similar mileage to you, and how your pace compares.

There's still more I want to do. Making the page (hopefully) more useful and bringing it up-to-date is one step. I'm also still working on how to combine it or replace the 'People' page with it.

All feedback welcome.

  • Nice, a lot more usable :-)

    Do the lightening symbol and star symbol beside the user names in the club and buddies page respectively, have any significance ? They are not separately clickable but just seem to be part of the username.

    If you click thru to view a session from the club or buddies page, then if you click the browser back button, it takes you back to the main list, not the club or buddies list that you came from.

  • Excellent improvement, thanks!

    One observation: the grouping by distance vanishes when I click on "my clubs" or following", but doesn't then separate out by club (I have two) or (when it's a big club, i.e. FERC) group them, it's just one list of descending mileage. It'd be nice if the club was named and then shown separately in the table.
    One suggestion: it would be nice to be able to switch between viewing per day and viewing per week, but I realise that would screw up the hyperlink with the mileage: unless it could instead then link to the training page on that person's profile, so we could drill down. This would be a great feature, as then you can see instantly when someone's had a high mileage week, which might be missed on just a day-to-day view.

  • Can the page stick to the "following" view please, rather than have to select it - I'd never ever use the full "who's training" list but would dip into the followers view. I'd also like a "buddies" view, but I get that you're trying to achieve some different distinctions between buddies and followers that perhaps I'm not yet on the same page as the site is. I like the page though!

  • Just had a little extra play - for me, what I would do would be look at who's training for a handful of days for those people I follow only, click on a few activities to see them, and then click back. But clicking between days costs me an extra click as the "following" isn't sticky between dates. And similarly clicking into an activity and then clicking back (on the browser) takes me back to the long list of everyone, rather than just those I'm following. So being able to click directly back into just the "following" (either via a date or back from viewing a log) would be the make or break as to whether I'd use this, and importantly whether it would tempt me away from doing exactly the same sort of thing via the orange site.

  • The "Following" button is brilliant. Any chance at all of pulling in the route map associated with the training entry if that is "public"? (Only when the "Following" view is engaged, to prevent too much of a massive strain on servers etc.)

Combining some pages

4:50pm, 25 Jun 2020
Some of the new users from the orange website have asked about where they can see a feed of their friends training entries. And it occurred to me that there's a bit of a soup of options available, and they could maybe do with a bit of a clean-up.

Training > Who's Training
fetcheveryone.com/whostraining.php
Not the most appealing of pages, even if there's quite a bit of functionality there. Slow to load, weird-looking, and largely full of endless splits data, for people that, if you were sufficiently interested in, wouldn't you follow them?

People
fetcheveryone.com/people.php
This lists the people who you are following - but it doesn't seem all that 'feedy'.

Club Pages
e.g. Harpenden Arrows: fetcheveryone.com/clubs-view.php?id=1753
Perhaps the most ambitious of the three pages, in that the club members gathered there are represented in a number of useful-esque ways.

Felly (sori Siarcie), I am looking at ways in which I could combine the functionality of all of these - or at least the first two, and improve the third.

It'd be good to hear about some of the ways you use these pages (if at all). And if you've got any suggestions for things you'd like to see on these pages, now's the time to give me some comments to ponder :-) I'm also wondering about whether an expanded 'Who's Training' page belongs under the Train menu, particularly if it included other stuff like forthcoming races; and if it needs to move, do I rename 'People' to be something a bit more obvious? If so, what?

I'm not gonna rush into doing all this. For one thing, it's far too fricking hot. I pretty much stick to every surface I touch. But reading about it and pondering sounds like a good idea. It's certainly easier :-)

  • Following people's training gives a notification - that's always been the way I see who is doing what.

    I like the idea of more functionality around the club pages - but not sure what.

  • - Who's Training just has too many entries. (I looked at in in the early days of Trader.) If you could filter it to limit it to Following or Buddies, that might be of interest.

    - People (Following). I only use this when wanting to review/rationalise who I am following, not as a feed.

    - Club pages. The overlap between this and people whose training I would like to see is very very limited.

  • Thinking about this, if the Who's Training page could be filtered (as suggested above) and if it also pulled out and displayed the route map from the training entry (assuming that is "public") in addition to the splits, you'd be pretty much there?

  • I follow those fetchies I'm most interested in the training for. It's a bit more personal that way I think. Although maybe there could be a ticker on the main training page, like on the fetchpoint page, to say, BarefootEm just logged a 10 mile run (I wish!!) Fetch just logged a 10 mile cycle, KatieB did 3 laps...With the 20 or 30 most recent public entries on it? Maybe as an opt in/out function on your training log?

  • I like the idea of a strava-like feed. The Who's training page is dull but would be spruced up by using route pics, giving a bit more summary info (pace/HR etc) and then you could click into it for splits etc. I would like this better than clicking every notification of someone you follow as only some of the notifications are interesting and seeing a summary allows me to easily see which I would be interested in

  • When i started, i looked at Who's Training often. When it was nearly all manual and people wrote stuff. I still use it like that (though with gps). It's like my diary sometimes Then it became just loads of splits from auto-uploads and that's of very little interest.

  • I don't use the Who's Training page as I forget it exists if I'm honest. I don't follow many people because I don't know who is doing what and if their training is a) interesting to me of b) something I can support with comments etc.

    Maybe the key thing is to get a feed (in whatever format) up there on the training pages with the option to filter by follows/club members/people doing the same race(s) as me.

  • Maybe slightly off topic, but I wonder if some more menu stuff would be helpful? I know there's a place where you can get info on parkruns but I can't find it.

    5:42pm, 25th Jun 2020
  • I second chunkywizard's comment, but have another of my own as a caveat: one of the reason why FE is so much better than all the other sites is that it ISN'T dominated by an instagram-style 'look how great I am' news feed in the same way as the orange site (and others). It's nice to see what others are doing, but not EVERY activity needs a virtual pat on the back, it's just training.

    The blog section on FE is a much better solution - if folks want to draw your attention to what they've been doing, well they can blog about it, and make it more interesting in the process (or not); and you can choose whether to follow their blogs (or not).
    Sigh
    6:46pm, 25th Jun 2020
  • Good point Sigh. A balance between now where the feed is tucked away and $trava / Facepalm approach dominating the site. Fetch is much more than that.

    7:11pm, 25th Jun 2020
  • To get clubs to ‘invest’ in the site it has to offer what the club wants, so i would look at club sites for inspiration. Top of my head I would say; club news, club fixtures, recent race results of club members (easy!), group schedules (something like the training plan). Best times is something to drill down to, we don’t want to be constantly reminded how slow we are, though recent new best times would be interesting. Club e/f mail.

    11:19pm, 25th Jun 2020
  • I think a lot of people like it here because it doesn't have the strava-wanker willy-waving syndrome. I'd say avoid doing much, if anything around general listings and focus on buddy lists to some extent but mainly on clubs. Club members will always be competitive, so give them the tools, the leagues, and the intra-/inter-club games to support that.

    12:27am, 26th Jun 2020
  • Another one here who thinks that 'likes' and 'kudos' would be a terrible addition.
    I did used to follow people, but the notifications were wild (one per training log entry?). Maybe a version of the "Who's Training" page, filtered to who you follow, and just *one* notification that there's new stuff there since you last looked.
    paul the builder
    11:49am, 26th Jun 2020
  • I use none of those pages. I don't know why, perhaps if I did I'd be more invested in what happens to them. I have followed a couple of people's training but am not keeping up and at the moment I just clear the notifications without looking.

    That said, I seem to be in a minority that has never used strava or even Garmin Connect or anything similar.

In pursuit of the Gridmaster Ultra

11:32am, 25 Jun 2020
For those of you who don't know, Gridmaster is the name of a Fetch badge that you can get for visiting all 225 squares in your Who Squares Wins grid during the course of a match. The grid covers four square miles, so it's no mean feat. Sign up for WSW here: fetcheveryone.com/wsw.php

It's grown in popularity as a challenge - and I've been asking WSW players how many miles they've travelled in order to complete it. I think the most efficient one I've heard was ishep's attempt, which took him 32.7 miles, spread out across three runs.

There have been a few suggestions about some sort of Gridmaster Ultra, where people visit all the squares in one run; and I even wondered about turning that into an actual event. No social proximity required, just find yourself a nice place for your grid (even if you have to plonk it on your nearest town), plan your route, run it, and upload. Trophies for fastest, and for most efficient. Sound like a challenge?

But anyway... that's a daydream for another day. In today's daydream, my plan was to nudge my WSW grid a little bit, so that I could make all of my squares accessible. Up til now, that's been foiled because two of the squares were right in the middle of Priory Lake - and it's a 'no swimming unless you want unexpected superpowers' sort of place.

I think I've moved it enough now that a run round the lake will pick up all the squares - so I'm pretty happy with that. But I'm left with a further challenge. Here's my run from this morning, with the grid superimposed:



I was hoping to get the square with the words 'Fenlake Meadows Local Nature Reserve'. As you can see, I went all around it, and checked out every available path - but I just can't get to it without disturbing the nature reserve, which obviously is not on.

Felly (sori Siarcie), I have a bit more tinkering to do before I can declare myself Gridmaster-ready. That plus the fact that I'm still on the comeback trail from injury :-) But it's nice to have challenges to think about.

I've also just finished a nice Zoom chat with rf_fozzy about orienteering, which sounds like just the right cup of tea for anyone who likes fun based around navigating. I'll be publishing that soon, as a vid on our YouTube channel, and in a forthcoming podcast.

Have a good day!

  • I'd have to move my grid quite some distance before all my squares become available to me. I have way too many fields around me that I have no intention of running through so Gridmaster is something I'll probably never attempt (that's my excuse anyway). Being rural might make WSW and FetchPoint tricky but has real benefits in Conquersize where there is much less competition for squares so I'll concentrate on that game.

Shoelaces

10:09am, 24 Jun 2020
Recently, my father-in-law commented on my tendency to pull my trainers on without undoing the laces. Katie backed up my approach - she does the same thing. We have both found that it feels better to know that the laces are at a tension that we feel comfortable running with. How about you? Vote now :-)

  • I redo them for races. For hill running (called Fell Running in England!) you have to retie, because you need very tight so that you don't move around in them on steep slopes and/or don't lose them in a bog! Similarly XC spikes. But for general jogging around streets, it's all fine. And for road marathons I would actually *loosen* them to almost slip ons, because your feet swell in a marathon and you don't want any pressure on the uppers at all. You didn't need to know all that. ;-) You're welcome! :-) G

  • Generally have them too tight to take on/put off without untieing. I have been known to take off without untieing, but then need to untie the know before I can put back on. No option for that in the poll.

    'gardening' (ie old running shoes) and bike shoes tend to stay tied.

  • most of my shoes have standard laces, and I do/undo conventionally: after putting on and before taking off.

  • I used to be a strict adherent to undoing laces before taking them off and they lacing after putting them back on (for everything). It would even hurt my finger to put my foot in that way. However, I tried once not unlacing at all (saw someone do that, probably) and I’ve done that for a while now. Even for trainers I just walk in. Finger doesn’t hurt and the backs haven’t worn out. My treads wear out. 🙂

  • I tie my laces so tight that it would be impossible to get my shoes off or on without untying/tying. I can’t bear the feeling of loose shoes; I’d rather have numb feet from over-zealous tying than loose shoes.
    Tikka
    1:36pm, 24th Jun 2020
  • Always untie when I take them off and tie when I put them on, sometimes adjusting the laces a few holes down the instep to get a really close and comfortable fit. Besides, if I took my shoes off with the laces tied I'd feel my mum clouting my ear and telling me I ALWAYS ruin my clothes and I don't deserve any and she doesn't know what bad thing she did to be lumbered with such a selfish destructive child.

  • Thank you! I'm using it currently. The problem is when I do the session I then have 2 lots of it on my log, the training plan one and the actual one uploaded from garmin. Is the easiest thing just to delete the training log one after to stop duplication? I hope this makes sense.

Training Plan Updated

2:36pm, 19 Jun 2020
I've spent the last couple of days working on updating the training planner.

On the face of it, it doesn't look too much different, but I've rebuilt a bunch of stuff behind the scenes to replace some very old code.

The new version is here (Training > Your Plan):
fetcheveryone.com/training-plan.php

(if you want to compare it with the old version, I've left a copy here for a while):
fetcheveryone.com/training-plan-old.php

The old one struggled with various problems. I built it probably about 8-10 years ago. Some of the code I'd put together back then has stopped working so well, because browsers have moved on in certain areas.

Probably the most useful feature of the plan is the ability to drag and drop training sessions - but of late, this had become flaky, or downright not-worky. I had also initially allowed a session to be copied, by holding down CTRL or something like that - but this only worked on PC's, and then everybody got mobiles, and the drag-and-drop option had never worked on mobiles to my knowledge.

The drag and drop should now work much more smoothly. And to enable copy mode, you can just press C on your keyboard, or (slightly more cumbersome) there's a "Copy Mode ON" button that you can toggle if you're on mobile.

I've also made a tiny simplification for the sake of readability. When adding training, you stick to your default unit i.e. miles or km. This means that all the distances on the map don't need to display the units, which gives everything else a bit more room.

There's still room for improvement. There are some feature requests that I'd like to move on to, and some stuff that no-one has mentioned that needs sorting too. For example, the bit where you save your plan is pretty unfriendly. I'd like to make it possible to save chunks of your plan as reusable segments that you can drop in too.

But I thought that "making it do the stuff it was supposed to do in the first place" was a good place to start.

Avoid Everyone Spares + Second Batch

10:31am, 12 Jun 2020
According to my poll, (edit) 266 Avoid Everyone tops have arrived with their new owners, but (edit) 10 are still outstanding. Of the (edit) 10, five are tracked overseas deliveries, so I'm pretty sure they will turn up. And I'm still optimistic that the remaining (edit) 5 are making their way through the system, having heard reports of other 1st class mail taking a week to arrive.

I have about 15 spares here, which I've been keeping just for this eventuality.

I've also had quite a lot of people saying "I want one of those" :-)

Ron Hill Specials would be happy to make more shirts and vests for us, if there's enough interest.

Over the next few days, I'll stay in touch with the folks who are still waiting. If they want to call it lost, I can either send them a spare, or add them to a second batch.

Not ordered one yet, but want one?
If you want a shirt or vest, please place your preorder and pay for it here:

fetcheveryone.com/shop

If there's a spare that I can send to you, I will get it in the post ASAP. If I don't have your size, it will be a case of waiting until approximately 10th July for the new batch to arrive.

The page will be available until 9am on Friday 19th June. If you need to wait for payday, place your order anyway and let me know your plan.

Wikipedia page

Sorry, this *isn't* the blog where I release the Avoid Everyone spares :-) That's tomorrow.

No, GordonG asked if we had a Wikipedia page because, as he put it "everyone else has one" :-)

Is there anyone who is familiar with Wikipedia politics who would be willing to get a page in place? I know technically anyone can create a Wikipedia page, so I could do it myself, but it might be very much in keeping with our crowd-sourced mentality to see what the community come up with :-)

I've been making some 1-2 minute videos to highlight different aspects of the site. If you were looking for something to do this afternoon, it'd be nice if you could share some of these with your friends and clubmates.

The latest one shows how to use the pace colours in your training log:

  • One thought that did cross my mind is that blogs like these about site features and functionality should have a separate feed/section on the homepage. Some people, especially newcomers, might not read your blog.

Getting data to Fetch from **other places**

2:29pm, 8 Jun 2020
We've had quite a few users grabbing their history from Garmin and strava to upload them to Fetch. Which is awesome :-)

For Garmin users
You can get hold of your history by requesting it here:
garmin.com

When you get hold of the ZIP (mine took a few days to arrive), open it up, and look for the following sub-folder: DI_CONNECT/DI-Connect-Fitness-Uploaded-Files - that folder contains more ZIP files which contain your training data. The files inside *those* ZIP files are suitable for ZIPping up and uploading to Fetch.

For strava users
This is where I get stuck. I don't have any data there, and I've no intention of visiting. What I do know is that if you visit their website, you can go to

My Profile > My Account > Download or Delete Account, and that will let you get your history. But I don't know how the resulting file is formatted. Can anyone offer any insights?

Once I get the info, I will upload our 'Upload ZIP' page. It looks like some new users are trying to upload the *entire* ZIP that they've downloaded - and it's failing because there's a whole bunch of extra stuff in there that isn't especially relevant.

All info appreciated :-)

    fetcheveryone
    2:40pm, 8th Jun 2020
  • When I did begin the process of closing down my account on the orange site, they has some BS about not deleting certain information of mine if it related to segments or some such waffle. As a result I went to the lengths of deleting all my 2,000-odd activity entries manually and all the personal data I'd entered - basically stripping my account bare - before then deleting it. Not going back there.
    Sigh
    2:45pm, 8th Jun 2020
  • Commented on the thread - the strava archive is odd, and includes .gz compressed versions of the original .fit, .gpx, .tcx files etc that were originally uploaded. Happy to share the archive with you - all 192mb of it!

    chunkywizard
    2:59pm, 8th Jun 2020
  • Thanks all - I think that's all helped me piece it together. Our ZIP importer is fine if the files inside are .gz, so that should be ok. I will update the instructions on the uploader :-)
    fetcheveryone
    3:15pm, 8th Jun 2020
  • I would add that lots of people don't have their windows machines set up to show all file extensions, so might not know about the .gz, but might also struggle isolating their archives between .gpx.gz, .fit.gz and .tcx.gz files. Not everyone will have used all three in creating their strava db over years, but it's definitely an edge case that will occur. If the upload could handle mixed files then that would create a path of least resistance!!
    larkim
    3:20pm, 8th Jun 2020
  • I've got all mine if you need any further info. As well as all the .gz zipped raw data fiels there's also an activities.csv that provides a summary of all the entries with most metrics you could think of. I'd have thought for most people just importing this would do, and save you processing gigs of raw data. Shout if you want any examples.

Feature Voting - some further updates

9:37am, 6 Jun 2020
Thanks for all your feedback on the feature voting update. There's nothing quite like uploading a change for finding out how people use something :-)

I've moved a few things around now. There are new tabs at the top of the page. They are as follows:

Unvoted (some number)
This takes you to the quick voting form. Crucially, this is something you can choose to do now, rather than you being redirected here automatically.

Open
This takes you to the page that you've been used to seeing. Stuff you haven't voted on is highlighted in yellow, so if taking your time is your thing, you can add your votes here.

Closed
No major changes - just removed the voting column and the comments box.

Add New Feature
Not much has changed, it's just on its own page, so that the new tabs can be in an uncluttered header.

Settings
Here's where you can decide on what notifications you receive. It's just been moved to its own page, rather than cluttering up the tabs area.

--
The upshot is that those of you who want to vote in bulk and/or enjoy clearing unvoted stuff easily can do so by clicking the 'Unvoted' tab. And those of you that like to take your time can peruse the 'Open' requests.

Feature Voting - speeded up

5:55pm, 5 Jun 2020
To encourage more of you to vote on the full set of feature requests, I've tried to make it a bit easier. Go take a look at the feature requests page in a moment to see what I've been up to:

fetcheveryone.com/featurevoting

If you've got stuff that you haven't voted for, you get redirected to a page that lists them all. There are radio buttons for your votes, and the default is set to 'Meh'. So you can upvote or downvote the ones that you think are good/bad, and then just hit the submit button.

So if you don't have an opinion on Fetch games, for example, you can just ignore those as you scan the list.

A bit better?

    fetcheveryone
    7:09pm, 5th Jun 2020
  • My view on "there's loads in my unvoted list" is that I guess you weren't really spending much time engaging with the feature (which is totally fine). But even if you 'meh' everything to get clear, you can still then upvote stuff and look through everything. Switching from 'no vote' to 'meh' doesn't alter the score for any feature - it just means that if you decide at a later point to have an opinion ;-) you just have to look out for the ones that are listed as 'meh' rather than the ones that are bright yellow. But overall, making it easier to vote quickly on new features will (I hope) make the page easier to use, and therefore more likely to be used. Fun fact - there are typically about 50 feature suggestions a month - so if you check it maybe once a week or something, you should have 10-12 new ones to look at on average.
    fetcheveryone
    7:15pm, 5th Jun 2020
  • I have just voted on my outstanding list. When I submitted the votes I was taken to the features list where some of those I had just voted on had comments which were not present on the outstanding list. Can the outstanding list show those comments since they might contain further information which may influence how I vote?
    Flatlander
    7:30pm, 5th Jun 2020
  • Voting “meh” always seemed like a bit of an insult to me. Like ishep, I felt I should give them consideration, and I was happier to leave no vote than just a “meh”. But if they’re the same, then that’s ok by me :-)

    2:09am, 6th Jun 2020
  • Yep, mattglen_ - that was my point exactly.

    I've just spent the evening (with Spotify+beer!) going through all 429 outstanding, making a few notes, voting, then seeking out those on my notes to comment on. Some good ideas in there :)
    ishep 🇪🇺
    2:51am, 6th Jun 2020
  • This change doesn't work for me. There is a difference between "meh" and having not voted, in that "meh" means I've actually thought about it. Being unable to submit one vote at a time means that I will need to submit a million "meh"s, as I'm not likely to give every suggestion my consideration in one sitting. But once I've submitted those "meh"s they are essentially lost, as I have no means of distinguishing them from suggestions that I haven't considered. In short, this change means that we need to either engage with every suggestion or none of them. Unfortunately, I'm more likely to do the latter.
    Sampson
    7:05am, 6th Jun 2020
  • I’m with Sampson. I started with good intentions but when I realised I was only quarter way down the page, I didn’t have more time right now to finish but I don’t want to submit meh. Can we have blocks of 20 at a time to work through? Then I promise I’ll do it!!

Fantastisches Tweeten

1:51pm, 1 Jun 2020
The recent changes over on the orange website have brought some very welcome attention and new users to Fetch. Today I spotted what I think must be the first ever foreign-language exchange about Fetcheveryone on Twitter. I had to use Google Translate to find out what was being said. It made me and Katie smile a lot, so I wanted to share it here. Thank you to Juliane for spreading the word, and a big shout out to all our German users :-) :-) :-)

@juliane_Fuchs replying to @garstigesWeib:
"kennst du schon @fetcheveryone ? Eine liebevoll gemachte Lauf- Und Radfahrseite ohne Profitanspruch und Marketing-Sprech. Ich hab das für mich als Strava-Alternative gefunden und bin begeistert! (Die UX ist auf den ersten Blick nicht optimal, aber man findet sich schnell zurecht)"

Google Translation:
"do you already know @fetcheveryone? A lovingly made running and cycling site without profit claims and marketing talk. I found this as a strava alternative for me and I'm thrilled! (The UX is not optimal at first glance, but you can quickly find your way around)"

@garstigesWeib:
"Danke, hab mich mal angemeldet und schaue mir das bei Gelegenheit mal genauer an"

Google Translation:
"Thank you, I signed up and take a closer look at that"

@juliane_Fuchs:
"yay! Neben echt vielen Statistiken gibt es auch einiges "Games", zB Fetchmiles (ähnlich Segmente bei Strava) und "Conquerise", da geht es darum, möglichst viele Zonen zu "besitzen", indem man der User mit den meisten Aktivitäten ist."

Google Translation:
"yay! In addition to a lot of statistics, there are also some "games", such as fetch miles (similar segments at Strava) and "Conquerise", because it is about "owning" as many zones as possible by being the user with the most activities."

@garstigesWeib:
"Hehe, so kann ich ja doch noch Landbesitzerin werden"

Google Translation:
"Hehe, I can still become a landowner"

@juliane_Fuchs:
"hehe :D Ist UK-based, daher ist es in D recht einfach, Zonen zu ergattern. Macht natürlich mehr Spaß, wenn Freunde und Bekannte oder andere Läufer aus der Region mitmachen, Wettbewerb belebt das Geschäft."

Google Translation:

"hehe :D It is UK-based, so it is quite easy to get zones in Germany. Of course, it's more fun when friends and acquaintances or other runners from the region join in. Competition stimulates business."
