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!

Ian - I wasn't suggesting that you do an automatic retrospective search (I know that would be a massive exercise!), I just wondered if you could (manually) select a specific run from your log on the same route to let you get a credit for that mile. (no big deal though:-) )

It may be a glitch, but not only was I credited with a time for a mile which I created, I then also beat it :-) Notification received and time on the mile updated.

I couldn't click on either mine or IanS's miles earlier (IDs 167 and 187). And when I zoomed in - they disappeared.

I've made four miles so far, three of them parkrun based. So hopefully they will be covered on Saturday (though not by me). The other one is a road which at least one Fetchie runs down often - hopefully soon :-)

I reckon a mile along the busway in an easterly direction with the current conditions, and even the most average of athlete will go sub-4 ;-)

How in the other direction time would be measured in hours!

Since this is a new feature, I'll ask stupid questions :-)

I've created a mile at Hanley parkrun: fetcheveryone.com/mile-view.php?id=246

The dotted line representation of the mile doesn't follow the actual path selected when creating the mile: fetcheveryone.com/t-16979475

I assume that this is just the graphics, and that the route will be sufficiently wide to cater for variances in gps trace logged by users. Or not....

Sigh - read the comments at the end of Fetch's blog between myself and Ian.
Basically he's split the mile into 10 points, the line shown on the map is not your trace, its straight lines connecting the 10 points. You have to be within 40m of all 10 ponts to "qualify". Hope I got that right !

Both my miles are just about straight lines so when you eat foot in my miles...it is a mile.

I ran down Dvorak’s non-parkrun mile and it worked 😀

Ok, I give in. When I click the ‘build a mile’ tab I get this



No map, no slider.

What am I doing wrong?
