Great idea with the "I'm Ready" checkbox, as my mobile provider is patchy at best, so when I'm not on WiFi my runs take ages to load.

Perhaps a countdown to the next hour? So runners know how long they have to complete the distance & click for the next.
Flashing red screen in the last minute and klaxon?

Like the bit at the top that says "Countdown"? :-)

57.5 Degrees of Pain
What start time are you thinking? It might be fun to try and incorporate a parkrun into one lap, though in Scotland we'd need a mile warmup and only get 30 mins for the final 5k.

I think The Man-Boy's exams run into early July.


I actually can't see one on the AQA list after June 7th, but that's no guarantee.

57.5 Degrees of Pain the reason that makes me a little bit nervous is that there's normally quite a big import queue on Saturday mornings. I do get around that by prioritising the people who have recently logged in - but I'd hate for the event to be derailed by technology fails.

Apologies.
I saw the hh:mm:ss and didn't click that it resets to mm:ss for the next start
(if you'll forgive the pun)

Nah, you’re right, it shows the time - but I can make it go bright red in the last minute or something.

A Levels here too - can't remember the date of DaughterDragon's last one but it is the day before the Taylor Swift concert in Cardiff! Some time mid June ish.

About This Thread

Maintained by fetcheveryone
I thought it'd be good to have a thread for discussing F'Laps 2024 (Date 6th July 2024). Follow this thread if interested.

The Rules
1) You must run or walk your chosen distance (a choice of 4.167 miles, 5k, 2 miles or 1 mile) within each hour e.g. 9-9.59am, 10-10.59am, 11-11.59am.
2) Each participant must visit Fetch and hit the "Completed it mate!" link before the hour ends: fetcheveryone.com/flaps-checkin.php
3) If you're finding it too much, you can drop down to a shorter distance, or tap out.
4) The winner is the last person standing in each distance category.
5) You can participate on your own, or get together with other Fetchies.
