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!

I would consider taping my watch over but would go daft if I could not see the stats afterwards.

I wear my Garmin to race, but have it set to only one data field, time. So during the race it's like running with just a stopwatch, but after the race I still get to geek over the stats for hours :-)

'tis nice to see the stats afterwards. Maybe I will try taping it over instead. If I see the pace I'm going it has a negative effect on me...

Good idea Kinky - I seem to have every bit of geeky stat squashed into the little screen - no wonder I slow down! ;-)

You could do something slightly less, well, wrong, like set it to disply altitude or something equally bland?
