Groups

Want to find like-minded Fetchies? Whether you're training for a specific half marathon time, or you just like wearing lycra, there's a group here for you. And if there's not, why not create a group? Usual guidelines apply. Silly groups, or those that attract no members will be cleaned. Those with less than 20 members are not listed here, but will appear on individuals' profiles.

Single Fetchies non-running Well why not eh? There are a few of us on here, so I thought I'd start a group. This is not a dating website, it is a running community and we know that.

It's just nice to meet other people who 'get it' about you and your running. Someone who will understand why you are grinning like a maniac because you've knocked 2 seconds off your PB. Someone who understands that even though your feet are covered in blisters AND your toenail has come off AND it's -3 degrees outside you are still going out for a run.

Oh and so we can flirt.

FETCH FESTIVAL - September 2010 running It's been suggested, discussed , hoped for and possibly prayed for. At long last it's here!

I'll set up a group and an article next, but the concept is that on the weekend of 18/19 Septmember we will have a Fetch Festival of Running, with lots of running, eating cake, a social, overnight accomodation and then more running to help get rid of the Hangovers.

We want to FetchEveryone to this event, which will be held at Loughborough University with good access to motorways, trains, airports and even somewhere Harry Potter can get to with Flue Powder.

We expect the cost to be in the region of £120 per head, to include everything except Drinks. Any surplus after organisational costs will go to Charity.

We want you to tell us what you want to do. There is a thread here: Link (roll over me to see where I go)


Basic Format to include:

Saturday Morning - Running
Saturday Afternoon - Run/Talk/Play/Coach/Eat Cake
Saturday Evening - Social - Dinner/Drink/Talk/Dance

Fetchenstein running So there's no funding (lottery or otherwise) for anyone but a couple of established marathon runners leading up to 2012 and the only money available seems to be getting splashed on sprinters with a penchant for diamond earings and flouncing about like peacocks for hours in preparation for less than a minute's actual effort.

Fetchies, Romans, Countrymen! We can change that.

I reckon if we all chipped in then a bursary/grant/scholarship type arrangement could keep an up and coming marathon runner in gels and plimsoles for a year, thus saving the poor thing having to learn how the fries machine is operated while working towards that all-important fifth star.

If there's 'no money' in the sport then the only practical means we have of changing that is to put some in ourselves and demonstrate to sponsors that it can be a viable commercial proposition.

Here are some random thoughts about how such a thing could work:

1,500 people paying £20 = £30K but I don't see a cash-strapped athlete turning their nose up at even a few hundred quid if it keeps them in shoes for a year or summat. Reckon we could get Natmag involved to match it if a good CBA (cost/benefit analysis not 'it's too cold to go for a run' ;-) ) can be made.

Marathon runner, 2012 medal prospect. Age and gender immaterial. (we're an equal opportunities bunch of loonies)

I reckon finding someone would be easy, given the club and coaching links we've got available.

The benefactor/victim would be encouraged to 'join in' here but as a bare minimum would be expected to log their training and make it visible to sponsors.

Maybe UKA would like to get involved and combine any Fetchie revenue with one of their own (lottery or no) programmes?

Issues:

Fetch is usually more inclusive rather than focussing on elite running but I reckon the community sponsorship/ownership of this would counter that argument.

When money's involved things get tricky legally. Trust fund? Ask the MyFootball club peeps etc. etc.

What if the recipient's a donkey? Can we ditch them and get another one after a year?

Check back for updates and if all goes well, actual real life 'decisions'. 		Hoaxster 74

Fetch HeartRate Data Study running Hi everyone

Please sign up to this group if you are interested in taking part in a study relating HR data and training / racing. The results of the study will be published on the site and hopefully incorporated into its functionality, i.e. to provide accurate guides to training / race potential, based on your current training etc. I will also provide you with a detailed summary of your individual statistics!

To take part in the study ideally you should have been using an HRM for at least 3 months, use it fairly regularly, log your training religiously on Fetch (and differentiate between training types) and be happy for me to pester you with questions (if needbe) about your training.

You will need to answer a short questionnaire at the start of the study, which I will fmail you and I'll liaise with the main man Fetch to determine the best way to obtain your training data!

All the best!

FLM 2009 FETCHPOINT - SUPPORTERS running Hello! as many of you know, we had a fantastically successful Fetch support point in FLM07 and FLM08 (which became known as FLM Fetchpoint).

The location was at about mile 22, where we felt that runners would be in dire need of a smile and a wave and possibly - very true in many cases - a hug. I still have fond memories of being hugged by a random set of firemen in full uniform in 07......ahem! :-)

Anyway, we are doing it again!

Aiming for the same point, approximately mile 22, which is The Highway. It's on the sunny side of the street and has the added benefit that mile 13 runs up the other side of the road so we get a chance to yell at our lovely runners TWICE!

So come along and join in the fun. I can promise you balloons aplenty, lots of fun and laughter and a good warm glow from doing something lovely for your fellow Fetchie. :-)

And probably a wee trip to the pub after.... At this stage, we need names on a list (there will be a separate list for runners and their requirements) and further down the line we will divide into groups and allocate you some runners.

Dedicated website is under development.

Dedicated email address is the one from last year as I managed to remember the password ;-).

COMPLETING A MARATHON running Time doesn't matter in this group... what's important is the finish line.... the reason why you are doing a marathon.... it doesn't have to be in 2009 it can be in the next 10 years... maybe you have lost somebody close and want to dedicate a marathon to them... maybe you have recovered from illness and want to celebrate.... likewise recovery from injury (myself included). On the tv coverage we see the elite runners who have trained so hard and get fantastic times, but hours after they have finished there are people still out there in their wake with amazing stories, time is not an issue.... and in the days afterwards when people ask "well what was your time? " - Don't be afraid to say "I enjoyed the day, and was pleased with my time..." Don't be "embaressed" with your time.... there are far more people who would be incapable of doing what you've just done.... 26.2 miles is a long way..... that's what this group is about!

FECS - FetchEveryone Common Sense running If you are a member of this group then you are someone who is committed to training and helping people to train in a responsible, sensible manner and creating an environment on here for runners that will encourage people to train in a way that will help to reduce the risk of personal injury and increase the enjoyment of running, the sport we all love so much. You don't have to be a coach and you don't have to be a 'seasoned' runner. All that matters is that you agree with the ideals set out here in the FetchEveryone Common Sense Guidlines set out here below:

1. You are responsible for your own body. Listen to it. Your coach is *not* responsible for your body!
2. Listen to good advice, but see #1
3. A training plan is a guide, not a dictator. See #1 & #2
4. Running should be fun so why put yourself through a punishing training regime to do something you don't really want to do?
5. Being inspired to progress and do well with your running is good. Allowing it to make you prematurely reach for goals you aren't ready for is quite a different kettle of fish (not good). See #1-4
6. Don't do a race just because you don't want to lose face with friends or whatever. See #1-5

The guidelines were thought of by LizzieLou, I slightly altered number 5 to make it read a little better.

FLM 2008 FETCH Support Group running Hello!

as many of you know, we had a fantastically successful Fetch support point in FLM07 (which became known as Fetchpoint).

The location was at about mile 22, where we felt that runners would be is dire need of a smile and a wave and possibly - very true in many cases - a hug. I still have fond memories of being hugged by a random set of firemen in full uniform last year......ahem! :-)

Anyway, we are doing it again! Aiming for the same point, approximately mile 22, which is The Highway. It's on the sunny side of the street and has the added benefit that mile 13 runs up the other side of the road so we get a chance to yell at our lovely runners TWICE!

So come along and join in the fun. I can promise you balloons aplenty, lots of fun and laughter and a good warm glow from doing something lovely for your fellow Fetchie. :-) And probably a wee trip to the pub after....

At this stage, we need names on a list (there will be a separate list for runners and their requirements) and further down the line we will divide into groups and allocate you some runners.

Dedicated website is under development. (Thanks to John66 for being hot off the mark on that one)

Dedicated email address likely to come soon too. For any problems, queries etc etc.

Following success of the Ochils run led by _andy, begin the suggestions for dates/venues for the next epic!

The next one is now decided Mon 20 - Wed 22 July 2009. (Again all arranged by Andy, to whom many thanks) ...

A couple of days running in the wonderful Scottish mountains, or between some of them if you prefer, probably mixed with swimming in wonderful streams, lying on the grass and eating cake.

To be clear, it's a bimble in the hills (no experience necessary at all) in the Braemar area (so a couple of hours up the road from Stirling)

Accommodation will be the NTS base camp at Mar Lodge Link to Link (roll over me to see where I go) We have enough people paid to have the place booked. But the more the merrier, so please contact HappyG(rrr) and/or _andy if you'd like to join. It's £15 a night, and is very well kitted out (bring a sleeping bag). If the numbers are more, then camping or other B&Bs could be an option.		 HappyG(rrr) 28

Edinburgh City Centre Race running Sunday Nov 8th, starting 1100am.
Reaching out to any Fetchies who fancy the idea of an Edinburgh City Centre run, following the route of the Bupa Gt Edinburgh 10k. Run can be as competitive or gentle as preferred, using a group handicap system with stopwatch timing. Unlike Bupa races, this one`s for free...and I would boldly predict that the timing system would be more accurate than this year`s Bupa one :-)
Hopefully Mr Ellem will be doing photos and Mrs Rentboy timekeeping. Food afterwards?

Fetch NaNo-ers non-running A group for novelling Fetchies doing NaNoWriMo....

Link (roll over me to see where I go)

What is Nanowrimo?
Valuing enthusiasm and perseverance over painstaking craft, NaNoWriMo is a novel-writing program for everyone who has thought fleetingly about writing a novel but has been scared away by the time and effort involved.

Because of the limited writing window, the ONLY thing that matters in NaNoWriMo is output. It's all about quantity, not quality. The kamikaze approach forces you to lower your expectations, take risks, and write on the fly.

Make no mistake: You will be writing a lot of crap. And that's a good thing. By forcing yourself to write so intensely, you are giving yourself permission to make mistakes. To forgo the endless tweaking and editing and just create. To build without tearing down....
