Love the 'saving your changes' thing. Makes me feel calm

I like the changes, so easy to update training, thanks Fetch

Yes, I'm ready to let it go

Cool, adding a route was the only thing I was using edit for. *goes off to check new thing*

Me too - particularly like the routes bit - clever!

Just a quick question - how do you assign kit without viewing the training entry first?

@minardi - you could try telekinesis? How would you have done this before?

@fetcheveryone by adding kit when editing the training entry

The run would get imported automatically from Garmin. You'd click to view it. Then you'd click the button that says 'Add kit...', and it'd pop up with a list of the items from your kit bag. You'd just need to click the ones you used. See?

Personally, I have one set of trainers set up as my default pair, and they're automatically added to new runs as soon as the run is created.

That's the trick - the default pair! I don't have one of those

I can let it go. If I'm going to the Edit screen I think it's more due to habit. I really like the new way of doing things.

@minardi - if you go to your kit bag, and edit the relevant pair, you can click the 'default for running' box: fetcheveryone.com/kit.php

Thanks fetch, but I don't have a default pair - I alternate between 3 or 4 pairs

Ok, so you just use the 'Add kit...' button and pick the pair you used.

I had another instance yesterday of changing a cycle type on the new edit that didn't change on my log. I reported similar before, Fetch. I had to change it on the old edit screen before it would change in my "Recent Entries" part of the "Train overview" page.

I thought we'd resolved that one Dave. Could you resurrect that feedback, or send me a new one please?

I like the new way of doing things too. Thanks for the update.

Really awesome changes as always!

Thank you, liking the kit thing at the top .. just about learnt to stop scrolling all the way to the bottom for kit and save *feelinglovelyinside*

Lovely! All sensible and good stuff. Good CX!

How do you assign a route if one hasn't been assigned? #justasking

Displaying a training entry, that day's race name and route name display in the same place. It looks like the route name is the only one showing. Is that correct?

I’m not sure. I like an edit button 🤣 I’ll get used to it.

With johnsy on this: if the system does *not* automagically link the training entry to a saved route, how do you assign it, without going to the edit screen?

My run this morning was a saved route except I walked the first bit before starting the Garmin because it was being slow on the uptake finding a GPS lock. So when the run arrived in Fetch it was not a close enough match to be assigned to my saved route.

ciao va bene antro ancora nel menu modifica per aggiungere frasi a " Three Things You Saw Today" spero che anche quello presto potremo farlo dalla schermata principale Buon Lavoro e grazie del tuo lavoro

@johnsy - the implication of the new automatic matching is that if there IS a matching route in your list, it should happen automatically. If there ISN'T, then you can type a name for it in the 'Save Route As...' box that sits on the map. If you're seeing a training entry and route in your lists that should match but don't, please send me some feedback.

@Fitz - I am still working on that bit - my plan is to add another button that will open a little popup with a list of routes that are approximate matches to the distance.

@ZORBAX65 - I will try to get an editable 'Three things you saw today' added to the view screen.

I'm guilty of still using the edit screen. I've tried to use the new one, and then go back to the original edit screen again. I think it's because all of the bits I usually edit are now cramped together at the top with a mix of words, numbers and icons which my poor dyslexic brain struggles to 'see'. The edit page is more spaced out and I can work methodically from top to bottom covering everything I want to edit.
I also miss the prompts - State of mind, Precipitation, Wind, Temp - the icons are not obvious enough for me.

I wonder a bit about the need to edit time, distance and so on?
Trim i get, but change the actual recorded time/distance?

I still look for the save changes/update button

I had a need to use the edit function the other day as I wanted Tom delete hr stats that were wrong.

Hi Fetch, female 2xl old school red vest please.

Do we have any pics of the red t's please Fetch?

I've got a pic of the front:

Hi Fetch, could I liberate one of the large red hoodies, please?

I’m a little worried about the infinite number of buffs you have. I hope you’ve got an infinite spatial volume to store them in, otherwise you’re gonna have serious black hole issues (unless they’re massless buffs?)

Male rainbow shirt in L please fetch.

1 x Male Current Style Shirt, Red, Medium £20 - please.

Avoid everyone shirt in 12 please Lord Fetch!

1 x Current Style Shirt, Black, Large £20..please

Rainbow Vest, Black, Medium* £5, please!

What do the 15th anniversary vests look like please Fetch?

Here's the fabric samples:



and here's the front of the black one, modelled by Old Croc:



and here's the back of the red one, modelled by minardi:

Do you have any pictures of the rainbow vests and the standing on the shoulders of fetchies t-shirt please? Is that one also a Ronhill one?

Do you have a picture of the red hoodie please?

Here's Katie with a red hoodie:



and here's a rainbow vest (Ron Hill):



Will try to find a SOTSOF shirt pic - but no, that one wasn't Ron Hill.

Here's Katie modelling the SOTSOF shirt (complete with zombie makeup):

Male cut vest, black, large - many thanks

The only male black large vest is the rainbow one. Is that the one you mean?

Sorry, should have specific - Rainbow vest, male cut, black large

Cool. Fmail coming your way...

Do you have a pic of the navy hoodie please?

Here's the navy hoodie. The logos have come out pale blue in the pics, but they are white:

It has a few wrinkles from being folded up for a while, but it's totally unused.

Can i liberate a rainbow buff please?

Please can I give a good home to the female rainbow vest size 10 if still available and a rainbow buff? Thanks

Please can I have a male Current Style Shirt, Black, Large? Would have loved a rainbow vest - they look amazing - but I think they’re all gone? Thanks 😊

Do you have a pic of the old school red vest, male cut please?

The old school red vest (NB size small is all I have left for that one) is modelled by Katie, standing at the back of this picture:

Can I get one of the swim hats please

Can I have a swirly buff please?

1 x Current Style Shirt, Red, Large £20

Please. If it's not gone.

Would the small hoodie fit a UK size 10-12/EU38 woman? If so, I’d like that last small one in navy assuming it’s not been snapped up already, thanks.

Tell Ashley to get his head out the way! I’d like the small old school red vest please?

Can I have the old school small vest and a swim hat please

Hi, please could I have the rainbow vest in the 14 and a swirly buff

Female red shirt size 14 and rainbow buff if poss please 😊

This is a marvellous thing.

Sign up

Done

I’m in.

Just a minor point, but neither your blog nor the Doctor K Cup page mention the date.

Good spot, ta.

Noted, thank you.

Definitely playing, as always.

I am hoping to join in, driving back from a holiday that day so will have to see.

post covid struggle at moment but hope to be in

I'm in. I might use it as an excuse to try and grab a 'K' for my alphabet...

Already in!

Me too

I’m in. It’s good to remember.

I'm in

I’ll be doing this. It’s a very lovely thing to do ❤️

I'm in.

question - I'm currently using a run-walk technique for my runs and have my time intervals set on my watch. Does this count as a pacing aid?

Even if still injured, I'm in

Me! I’ll do it!

I think it's xC weekend but I'm sure can fit in a 5K somewhere too. Great to remember all the lovely Fetchies who have sadly passed. G

It can be part of a longer run. The results will use your best 5k benchmark for the day.

I’m in 😊

I’ll have the 15 anniversary black vest size 10 If it’s still available.

I'll take the XXL vest if its still available please.

I am Ms Trunchbull 😮

Kit, boss? Where do I update what shoes I'm wearing. GlennR says it's there and I'm boing dense, but I cannae see it.

On the 'view' page, scroll down to the section titled 'Kit', and if you're still stuck, report back.

On it. Stand by one.

Got it. Thanks. As you were.

Also Ms Trunchbull.

Possibly the only thing is route but I believe you've changed that option too now (if I remember correctly).

I still like to edit my shoes on the 'edit' screen on occasion since I can see their current mileage that way

You can see that on the view screen.

I’ve not used the edit screen for a little while and do like the new fields available on the view screen. Just some notes: 1. It’s probably quite easy to accidentally click and change something and choose an option (mostly on mobile I would think). 2. I’ve found in the past the view screen takes a lot longer to load than the edit screen, so I’ve often wanted to just go to the edit screen when making changes to a training entry. 3. Having server round trips, can be discombobulating when just making a small change that might not be the only one you want to make. 4. Slow connections/poor connectivity will be impacted.

I’ve moved away from doing too much in my training entries, but used to be a bit obsessive about setting everything right. Hence I don’t use edit as much as previously.

Another Ms Trunchbull here

I'm sure it's an improvement and I'll come to prefer it
I am Augustus Gloop.

The only thing I can’t see on the view screen now is a way to select a pre-existing route. Otherwise I can’t see any reason I’d want to select edit now.

I didn't see the kit bit either. Will look more closely next time.

just added training and noticed shoe mileage appears. Uncertain if this is a (more) recent change or if I'm just unobservant!

I keep clicking edit out of habit but if it weren't there, I'm confident I'd be able to amend what I need to in the sscreens as they are.

It looks OK to me. Thanks.

Like the Dahl quiz. I was.... The Fleshlumpeater from the BFG! 🤪🤣😂

The Enormous Crocodile
Funny. I don't recall answering 'eat them' as an answer.

Weean, it’s a recent addition. 🙂

I like the new approach. I tended not to bother editing apart from run type, but now I also update surface, weather and have started recording shoes - just because it's so much easier

All the drop downs make it hard to see the data. Can't see distance and time at a glance, I know that they're right there but I find I've got to kind of search for it. (Does anyone need to edit distance and time on an imported run?)

I like the principle of no seperate edit screen... but all the white boxes and drop down arrows are kind of messy and the actual data seems lost and somehow uncertain or temporary. Perhaps more a presentation thing than function thing?

Sorry. I'm always complaining about change. 😆 I hate change.

I’m trying to learn. Sorry. Old dog etc…

Somehow I still manage to lose my notes frequently when I don’t ‘edit’. I’m sure I’ll learn. Just switch it off!!

I liked it. Thank you. One suggestion for temperature - could the default be the middle option? I know weather isn’t always ‘ideal’, but it is closer to that than ‘Baltic’ in these parts anyway.

The default should be coming up as ‘ideal’ - I’m not sure why it’s not. I’ll have a look tomorrow.

I usually have to edit to note what shoes I was wearing on the run...as I don't always wear the same shoes two days running.

Excellent job. Thank you!

That's great, thanks. Any chance the individual exercise fields on a strength workout could get the same treatment as the notes section?

Why did you want to get rid of the edit screen though? On RooA's point, I'll edit distance on imported runs, because sometimes the gps is plain wrong. And if I've run a set distance eg parkrun or race, I'll change it to that, unless there's a compelling reason to think the stated distance is incorrect.

I'll hold my hands up - it's me using the edit screen! I've always preferred it to the 'other' screen and I still do...so I keep clicking into it. For instance the bit where you can specify the temp, precipitation, state of mind etc is much easier on the edit screen because it's got words on it - the pictures on the other screen make me really have to think about which one is which.
And on the edit screen it's all in one place. The edit screen has it all broken up into separate segments which my brain finds messy.
And it bugs me a bit that there isn't a save button on the other screen. I don't trust that it'll save it by itself. Just like Office 365 where I still press CTRL+S every few minutes even though it's supposed to save to the cloud by itself.
The only time I've ever looked into the other screen was to look at a route map. So I guess it's going to take me a while to adjust...please don't hate me!

I was going to mention the Baltic default on the manual entry screen! I've only just noticed that I can choose indoor as a surface though...

Another Ms Trunchbull here

How do i know it's saved the changes 😗

This is a reminder that I meant to email you my problem with adding notes on an iPad. In case others have this issue, the notes don’t always scroll for me. I’ll get onto this later.

Ms. Trunchbull

For those using edit for your kit, its in the view one too; just further down the page.

Just wondering about routes? I sometimes edit to pick a route I do regularly.

I am the grand high witch

Well done, 5km is a hard distance.

Tremendous

I didn't know that existed, mind you I haven't raced for 4 and a half years,so races escape my attention, soon I might along with the FF miles.

Nicely done!

Well done 👍

Bloody well done!

chiedo la gara che hai messo puo essere corsa un qualsiasi giorno di settembre ? ? se capita che corro anche una gara reale di 10k posso fare anche questa virtuale ? Grazie per le risposte

Sì, qualsiasi giorno di settembre va bene

How d'you like them applies indeed! well done!

Nicely done!

Happy Anniversary
A big Fetch mile in Bedford for the 20th? Happy to help with organisation.
There are a few of us with a big birthday next year - might be a fun extra party?

Just the one table at the pub?

Happy birthday Fetheveryone. I'd be up for a virtual race with you all on this side of the planet. I reckon a special 20th anniversary medal as well. (Give people a choice of 20 minutes, 20km, 20 miles or 20 hours for those hardcore ultra nutters, has to be done really). I'd offer to help this side, but there's only a few of us in this country that I'm aware of. Mark

This is a great site, and just keeps getting better. Some of it down to the users, suggesting stuff, blog and forum content etc. But mostly, overwhelmingly mostly, because of the "man behind the curtain". Please, keep it up. This site is a legacy to your attitude and knowledge, and long may it remain so. Thank you so very much. Life would be a little bit shitter without the daily dose of Fetcheveryone.

Happy anniversary!

A big Fetch mile in 2024 would be great!

Ooooooooooooh! Persistence in a world of increasing impermanence.
Date in next year's diary. I've missed other parties but I'm not missing this one.

Wonderful, has to be a very big fetch mile. I like the idea of medals, maybe we could sponsor the cost of those? I dont know where I would be without Fetch so its a very big thanks from me!

Happy raciversary

Happy Anniversary - enjoy your run!

oooh! I was there too. Quite nice to see how many fetchies from that race are still running 19 years later! Happy anniversary Fetcheveryone!

Happy birthday!

Happy Anniversary

Happy birthday to you and your magnificent online edifice!

Was the cost of the race the same as the cost of a haircut? Times have changed ;-). Mine was The Swindon HM, 2007!

Happy Birthday, Fetcheveryone! (And I guess, happy birthday to us all, too. )

How about 20 separate Fetch Mile event's next year? Spread around the globe (or at least, where there are active Fetchies!)

Happy anniversary! I continue to support and recommend the site as it offers so much more than anything else out there, and most of all is a whole lot of fun whether it’s the motivational games, badges or finding something to chuckle over in the forum and the blogs. Everyone keep doing what you’re doing, and a big thanks to Fetch himself for keeping this show on the road!

How about 20 Fetch Miles? (not a Fetch 20 Miles, that would be crazy) Should be able to get one close enough for most to attend?

❤️ Happy Birthday 😀

Twenty different Parkruns to attend? They are there, and it would take no organisation, and you 'could' pick twenty nearest the biggest concentrations of fetchies, maybe less with a few scenic ones.

Happy birthday anniversary

happy anniversary

Happy anniversary!

Fabulous! Happy Birthday/Anniversary.
Fetch means a lot to me so definitely up for celebrating 20 years in style.
And thank you!

This has made me very happy. Happy birthday/anniversary. I'm already looking forward to a mug. And will definitely come to any event. Fetch is super important to me.
I would love to run in the Millennium stadium. I ran through Southampton St Mary's twice as part of the half and that was pretty good, and I don't even like S'oton.

That table, and the pub, would have to be huge.

No, thank YOU! Without you, this would all just be a patch of waste-ground. It's properly amazing to see, and to use, what you have built here.

Happy anniversary.

It just occurred to me that it is 19 years since my first "race" (Carlisle half, October-ish 2004), so 20 years for me next year, too. I was a latecomer to Fetch, though.

I know I’m a late arrival to fetch but it’s just the best site and I love it more than anywhere else on t’internet! Happy anniversary!

happy birthday!

Was this the race where you described yourself 'swearing like a wounded pirate'?

I do that in most races

Happy anniversary. Thanks for putting up with us for so long!

Happy anniversary. And many happy returns.

Happy anniversary! Love a party…

Just wonderful. Looking forward to a potential event.

Happy Fetch Birthday!

FE, Penblwydd Hapus 19 Heddiw. Happy Runniversary. 🎂

Happy anniversary.

pleasure being part of the family

Wait. You’re welsh??

Happy Fetch birthday!

Happy anniversary. You've changed the lives of lots of us too! Looking forward to the 20th.

Happy anniversary/birthday.I’d love a Fetch mug 😆

Happy Birthday! And thank you for the birthday gift to all of us!

Happy anniversary! Hurrah for Fetchies. A mug...?

Happy anniversary!!

Happy anniversary!

No sports related site comes close to providing such a living community, information hub, and source of friendship and safety.

🍰

Hurrah 😃

Happy anniversary! Thank you so much ive made some fantastic friends through fetch

Happy anniversary, really my life would not have been as fun without fetch!!

Happy anniversary & Thanks Fetch for your dedication to the cause. I love this site and the contact I get with such lovely people.

Happy anniversary - looking forward to the 20th too!

Happy anniversary ❤️ (I'll be saying that again tomorrow, to BarefootEm - 26 for us)

I have too many mugs, BUT not enough mugs that are big enough. I like my tea by the pint, for which I keep a small fleet of Sports Direct mugs, for who I have no love whatsoever. However, I have just discovered that said mugs are known in the mug printing world as 20 oz mugs! Surely that's destiny, right? A 20th anniversary 20oz Fetch mug would instantly become my most prized possession... just sayin

Happy birthday #fetchfam

Happy birthday and thank YOU

Happy birthdayversary!

Happy anniversary

oh can we have some more baseball caps please?

I pop in to say hello to my friends every day and I can’t imagine not doing so now! Happy anniversary and a big thank you xx

Gran bei ricordi .....anche io tra un po compio 20 anni !!! ahahahahaa

Happy anniversary! Kudos to you! 🏆🏆🏆

A very happy anniversary! I like ishep’s idea of a big mug Only been here 16 years, not an OG then

Happy Anniversary 😀👏 It’s incredible to see it evolve and prosper through all the changes over the years.

Happy Anniversary 😀👏 It’s incredible to see it evolve and prosper through all the changes over the years.

Well done and happy birthday to your wonderful creation. G

Need big celebrations. Fetch has almost half my life story written in blogs and almost all my training records! 😂❤️. You’ve done us proud.

Happy Fetchversary next year will be fabulous

outstanding fetch, been here a while and expect to be here a while longer

I remember the race and future races around the stadium. Such a shame they changes the route.

Happy Anniversary! My favourite corner of the internet by far.

Definitely your new concept album title

loving the green buttons

We all have one of those…

Like the green button. Hope the new strategy keeps Fetch towers cooler tomorrow. 🤞

Kate Bush album, if I’m not mistaken

A Pink Floyd album I think.

I hope you're in touch with your inner wrench.

Nice improvements! And quirky directions. 😀

Not sure if you have room but perhaps a strategically placed small tree could be planted to give you shade in the summer - not overhanging but just so you had the shade in the afternoon.
