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?
GG and LG, that describes nearly all of my runs. That first step is by far the hardest but once I'm moving, I'm generally enjoying it. WSW so often serves to make that first step happen at all.
xt350 that made my heart skip! What a truly inspirational man your mate is. I wish him well for the Bob Graham Round.
His playground is my idea of heaven, I am lucky to live near fells (not that level of fells) and woodland but it would be something I really want to develop into - just need to learn to map read.
I had an operation 12 years ago where I almost died thankfully they saved me, so I can resonate what he said about doing his donor proud, likewise with my situation I am lucky to be here and I am not going to waste it. My mum had said she'd tried to stop me running as I was poorly but doctors said had my heart not been strong I'd not have made it. If I ever need to drag myself out that is where my mind goes
NN, welcome to the forum! You are doing really well and I think WSW is exactly for runners like you, who benefit from a little extra push out the door. The mutliplayer and 1-2-1 are quite different games and I don't tend to bother with the multiplayer but I can see how it has worked well with your training and that's great. Your post sounds like "imposter syndrome" but you've absolutely earned the right to be up there, even if you don't feel like fighting down to the wire (and seriously, the boys - nearly all boys - who get into final four are complete nutters!).
What I like about wsw (and most fetch games) is that it doesn't matter how fast you go or even to a large extent how far (most long runs or bikes go off grid unless you are an obsessive. Like me.) There are plenty prizes for the fast people out there but fetch has always been about encouraging the "also rans" like me.
Free training & racing tools for runners, cyclists, swimmers & walkers.
Fetcheveryone lets you analyse your training, find races, plot routes, chat in our forum, get advice, play games - and more!
Nothing is behind a paywall, and it'll stay that way thanks to our awesome community!
