  • I just searched for shop and discovered that you removed it in Nov 2017. I'm clearly not a regular shopper. I was wondering what the grey hoodies looked like? I'm usually a medium but can sometimes for a small. Fanks! :-) G

Avatars

3:18pm, 20 Nov 2018
I've updated the bit of code where you update your avatar. Hopefully it'll spell an end to all those avatars with truncated heads :-)

To try it, go to your userprofile and click your existing avatar:

fetcheveryone.com/userprofile.php

You should be able to zoom, rotate and crop your image.

Let me know how you get on if you give it a go.

  • Sorry to hijack this blog, but seeing as :-) G has brought it up, when the Fetch snow arrives will it be possible for individuals to turn it off? The falling snow imagery causes me great visual disturbance leading to an "upset brain" and feeling quite unwell so I can't stay on any "falling snow" pages, and even then it can be too late.

    I know I'm only one of probably an extremely small number of Fetchies who would be affected in this way, but it would be great if I could turn it off.

2:07pm, 19 Nov 2018
If you'd like to win a copy of Can We Run With You, Grandfather? by Doug Richards, please go here:

fetcheveryone.com/giveaway-cwrwyg.php

The author takes us with him as he aims to complete his goal of running in seven different continents, before he starts his seventh decade. I'm in my fourth decade, and I've only done two (the Isle of Wight is one, right?)

I'll pick a winner next Monday. May the odds be ever in your favour.

Fix It Friday

12:12pm, 16 Nov 2018
I'd like to start by saying that my IT band issues are fixed, but instead I'm still resting it. I ran on Tuesday, and it started aching before I'd got to two miles, and was getting sore by the time I completed three miles (luckily that was all I had planned).

But on the plus side, I think I've finally got all 24 prizes lined up for the Festive Fetch Calendar :-) The headlines are that the total cost of the prizes if you were to go out and buy them would be nearly four grand - so I think it's gonna be quite lively :-) And the prizes also reflect our broadening use amongst cyclists, swimmers and walkers. And even people who just like eating. So that's pretty much everyone. Exciting!

I've been reading an excellent book called "Don't Make Me Think (Revisited)" by Steve Krug amzn.to which is all about usability. You don't need to be "technical" to follow it - a lot is common sense views on how to make something usable. It focuses a lot on web pages, of course. Stuff like "don't overdo text because people skim", and "make sure it's clear when something's clickable". It's really helpful to let me see the pages of Fetch from the point of view of someone who doesn't know anything about it. There's also an interesting bit about usability testing, where it says that sometimes, all you need to do is *witness* someone using your site, to start seeing where the problems lie. This reminds me of something I heard about (I think) Mick Jagger. He'd play his new songs to his friends, and wouldn't need to ask what they thought, because he'd be listening through their ears. Not literally, obvs.

Here's a list of this week's de-assing :-)

1) Squished the forum header a little bit. On mobile, the different categories are hidden (you can still see them if you rotate your phone into landscape mode - in fact, you should try landscape mode on other pages too, let me know what you think). And the "New discussion" link, which was previously hidden amongst all the other links, is now in a nice green button.



2) Our recent "your fastest time on this route" feature. If you upload the same run twice, then delete one, there'd still be a 'ghost' entry left on the fastest routes table. Thanks to Wriggling Snake for spotting that one. I've closed that loophole for now - but if any of you notice any routes with a date of Jan 1st 1970, give me a shout for a clean up. FYI Jan 1st 1970 is one of those default operating system dates, and not special in itself.

3) A few minor updates to injury listings - displaying category when viewing an injury, and mouseover tooltips for the different severity categories. Just for HappyG(rrr).

4) I overhauled the kitbag (that's the tool you use to track the mileage on your trainers). There's more info on that if you look at my earlier blogs this week - or you can just head hear to take a look: fetcheveryone.com/kit.php How can we improve this feature?

5) eL Bee! noticed that his long cycle rides were not showing in full on the map. This is a problem that tends to affect long rides more, as they often involve some watch start-stop shenanigans, and cake. I was using "total elapsed time" from the FIT file as a way of ring-fencing the actual activity, but it seems this was actually truncating part of the route. If any of you have noticed a truncated cycle ride, I'd be interested to see what happens with future uploads. Not a retrospective fix unfortunately.

6) Club pages were missing results. K5 Gus spotted this one, and tbh I'm not sure how long it was like that. Clearly a well-used feature ;-) Anyway... now you can see them again. If you haven't added your club to your userprofile yet, go find it here: fetcheveryone.com/clubs.php

7) Those of you who don't subscribe will have noticed a few extra ads encroaching on site space over the last week or two. I don't enjoy squeezing them in, but if you're using the site for free, then it's an unfortunate necessity to help pay for running costs. Make a small monthly or annual donation here and I can switch them off for you: fetcheveryone.com/invite.php

That's it for this week. I hope you all have a great weekend. I may well be RD at Bedford parkrun tomorrow, then it's Wales vs Tonga in the afternoon, hoping we get three out of three before we tackle SA next week :-) Hopefully I'll sneak a run in too, and hope for a wee bit of improvement.

As always... leave a comment if you want to report any issues, or suggest any improvements. I don't always see your suggestions and comments when they happen round the site, so posting something here is a good way to get in front of my eyeballs :-) All comments about an Android app taken as read B-)

    A nice list of fixes this week.

The 'distance from' box doesn't seem to accept anything more than 200 miles, unlike the other boxes that can all be cleared. Hence I can't search more than 200 miles away from a postcode.

Bedford Harriers Half - place offered

10:30am, 15 Nov 2018
My left IT band is still tugging away and causing irritation on my left knee - so much so that it's been aching after about two miles of any sort of run... and so I've decided that it'd be a bit silly of me to attempt a half marathon on December 2nd.

Therefore, I've got a place to give away. I don't want any cash for it, but any donation to the site coffers are welcome.

It's a great race (I've done it seven times now). They still have places up for sale in any case, so you could take a friend:

bedfordharriers.co.uk

Let me know if you'd like my place :-)

Cheers

  • Can I ask a question? Do you think this is a result of marathon training or perhaps the race itself? I often see people go down with injuries in the weeks after a marathon.
    Ocelot Spleens

  • I tweaked my hamstring on an easy 12 miler (I'd already done a 20 by this point) in early September, which set me back a bit. I got through a second 20 miler in late September, and whilst the hamstring was a little sore after that, the left IT band was also painful. I got through to about 20 miles in the marathon, but after that point, the IT band was causing a lot of painful knee issues.

Updated Kit Bag

4:36pm, 13 Nov 2018
I probably did these the wrong way round, but I was keen to get yesterday's article on popular shoes out there. Here it is again if you'd like to read it: fetcheveryone.com/cms-125

But what it mainly did, was to focus my attention on our Kit Bag, which is where all the data came from. For those asking, the data I looked at when generating my stats was the number of pairs of shoes with a 'born on' date in 2018. So mileage didn't factor, and it will always have slight inaccuracies when people buy shoes three years in advance (!) but also those accidental pairs racking up default mileage will not have thrown any stats out. It's just a bit of fun anyway.

Anyway... on to the point... I looked at the Kit Bag itself, and it was pretty awful. I know we like stats, but I'd also like to make our site usable, and not frightening. Here's how it looked on desktop:



Wow, what an overwhelming messy grid!

And even worse, here's how the mobile site was doing:



Terrible! You have to scroll before you get to see anything, and it was so bad you had to scroll horizontally too. It's one of those pages that needed a real makeover so that noobs didn't take one look and go "riiiiiight", and head off someplace else.

Here's how it's looking now on desktop:



1) The form for adding new kit has been tidied up behind a nice green 'Add New Kit' button.
2) The wordy intro text has been trimmed down from an excessive 100 words down to a more reasonable 36 - hopefully without losing any friendliness or meaning.
3) All the config options have been tidied away behind an 'Edit' button.
4) Default choices are now shown as little boxes under the shoe name e.g. 'Run Default'.
5) Likewise, if you set an alarm for your shoe, it shows up with a little alarm bell icon.
6) Dropped the 'time' stats. They are still being recorded if it turns out it ruins anyone's Christmas, but I felt like it was overkill to display them.

And here it is on mobile:



6) You can now (hopefully) see exactly what this page does, without having to scroll down (or even across, FFS). The top two bits of kit are showing, so you can see that it's a list.

And for Sigh and StuH (and anyone else) who wanted to add a starting mileage to their shoes, I can add that in the database for you if you give me a shout via feedback.

    Suggestion... Could you make it so that when you click on somewhere - e.g. the little coloured field that shows the mileage for an item of kit, it takes you to a list of activities that you used that kit for?
    (Or is there already a way to do that but I’ve just not found it?)

fetcheveryone.com/cms-125

I had fun making that :-) Thanks to everyone who helped me with the Adidas models.

In other news, left IT band still hasn't totally settled, but it's had a bit of rest over the weekend (aside from some linesman sprints), and I'll give it another try out tomorrow, followed by the Precision Elbow Of Katie :-)

  • I'd love to start tracking my shoes on here, but what would really help is if I could add a starting mileage - otherwise I've got to go back and edit every entry to date just to duplicate shoe data that I already have on Garmin Connect :-(

  • Nike, Asics, New Balance, Brooks, Adidas, Saucony, Mizuno, Inov-8, Salomon, Karrimor. At a guess :-)

    There used to be a "starting mileage" option in 2007 though it quite possibly has disappeared over the years somewhere. There used to be aggregated shoe mileage graphs as well.

  • Are these stats based just on ownership, or mileage logged, ie if I have a pair of shoes I hate and never use do they get equal weighting with a pair I love and have logged 100's of mile in ? Also, I assume just active shoes and not retired ones ?

    9:34am, 13th Nov 2018
  • Is that just owned, or including retired? Or is it mileage (as others have asked)? If it's just when it is first logged on Fetch, just to let you know, I buy now, start using next year (or up to 3 or 4 years later, in extremis!) in case that matters in your stats. If you wanted us to do that accurately, options to record: when bought, how much paid, where bought (incl online / high street or actual name of retailer if you'd rather), key driver (e.g. price, on sale, peer recommendation, fitted in shop) etc. would all be VERY interesting (a bit to us, but especially to advertisers - nudge!) :-) G

Any adidas experts out there?

10:05am, 12 Nov 2018
I'm trying to compile a list of the most popular shoe models from 2018, based on your data. I've pretty much cracked all the other brands, but am struggling with the naming convention used by adidas. It seems to the untrained eye that the model name is a random collection of several words (like 'adizero', 'boost', 'response', 'ultra', 'supernova' etc). Some of these words might represent technologies that the shoe includes :-) whilst others might be actual distinct models. Any help or best guesses at reducing the following list into actual models would be very helpful:

adios
adios boost
adios cumby
adistar boost
adizero adios
adizero adios boost
adizero boost
adizero boston
adizero boston boost
adizero cadence
adizero prime
adizero rc
adizero sub2
adizero tempo
aero bounce
alphabounce
boost
boston
boston boost
bounce
cloudfoam
energy boost
glide boost
kanadia
parley
prime boost
pure boost
questar ride
response boost
response light
riot
sequence
solar
solar drive
solar glide
supernova
supernova aktiv
supernova boost

supernova sequence boost
supernova st
takumi ren

terrex
tr8
ultra boost
ultra boost boston
ultra boost parley

  • Not an expert by any means, but I have a few. My advice would be to throwaway (or ignore) the word Adizero - what comes after it is the shoe, and boston, pro (which you don't have in your list :-o) and adios are definitely different shoes.
    Also I reckon the word boost could be done without - I think that just means a different type of foam in basically the same shoe (boston vs boston boost)

No Fixes Today - just two challenges

1:36pm, 9 Nov 2018
We're extremely light on fixes and updates this week, as I've been putting most of my efforts into getting the prizes sorted out for next month's Festive Fetch Calendar :-) It's quite hairy getting to November 1st and still having 10 doors to fill. But it's been a great week in that respect - I've now got 23 out of 24 doors sorted, and the stuff that's come in this week has been really awesome. A very rough estimate suggests that we've got over three grand's worth of goodies to hand out :-)

The prizes are very shiny, and I hope you'll all enter every single one - but the accompanying challenges are also one of the nicest traditions on Fetch. I know sometimes the blogging challenges can flood our blog pages, so I'll try not to do *too* many of those, but that does depend on coming up with some exciting options. Leave a comment if you've got an idea for a challenge.

There are two that will definitely be appearing, and I wanted to give you plenty of notice.

The first is our foodbank collection. We're aiming to do this on December 15th - I'm RD at Bedford parkrun that day, so we're getting our parkrunners involved. It'd be great if you can think about what you can do on that day - maybe you could have a word with your parkrun too. Google your local foodbank, and find out the sort of things they need. Ours has a surplus of beans, pasta and porridge, but there are other things that they're really short of.

The second is our movie scene recreation. On 12th December 2016 I got the call from Hearst to say they were no longer wanting to back Fetcheveryone financially, and therefore I was also surplus to requirements. On the plus side, I got my site back. It was a huge shock, although I'd spent 9.5 years thinking it was inevitable. But two hours after getting the call, I tweeted "Chewie, we're home". [Just typing that now has me welling up]. There's only one job for me, and that's looking after this website, and all of you. We made the decision that I would appeal to you all for a wee bit of financial help each, and the donations have shown just how many kind people there are out there.

And so the following December 12th, we decided to dress up as Han and Chewie to celebrate a year of still being here, and invited you all to post your movie scene recreations. Here we are:



and some of you lot joined in - I've collected as many as I could find here:

fetcheveryone.com/gallery-chewie.php

(Did I miss one? Please let me know, I want to get them all on there).

This year I'm hoping that more of you will join in. We've got our idea sorted, and will do our best to make you all smile. It's not about doing something spectacular, it's about getting into the spirit of things. I hope you can. Thanks :-)

Big Fetch Mile Cardiff

4:49pm, 5 Nov 2018
Our fifth Big Fetch Mile of the year saw us return to the National Indoor Athletics Centre in Cardiff. We had such a lovely crowd last year, and my mam made so many nice cakes, it was hard to resist a return visit.

Katie and I travelled down on Friday evening, arriving in time for a lovely family meal. The following morning, we snuck in a visit to Penallta parkrun, and after running with Katie for the first couple of miles, I took advantage of the gentle downhill on the final kilometre to see what speed feels like after marathon training; and to see how my knee was getting on. The latter is not quite there, but seems to be improving slowly.

We made our way to Cardiff early, because Wales were playing Scotland at the same time as the mile. We've been to a few internationals in recent years, and the city centre and public transport is always a bit of a mess :-) But luckily we didn't run into any serious traffic and got there in time to grab a coffee, and to meet our first new Fetchies, Evangel and GrandmaS :-)

Slowly but surely, more folks arrived - but we were a bit nervous as 2pm approached, as our numbers were a wee bit down on last year. I wondered whether the traffic had gotten bad, or whether the fact that we invited people to sign up so far in advance that they'd forgotten about it. But a few cheery last minute arrivals gave me a bit of a confidence boost, and we got underway.

We've pretty much got our system working well now - and the wonderful Jigs was on hand to help with lap counting, bell ringing and general awesomeness. The clapper fell out of our bell at the first ding, but luckily Sweetie had a cowbell in her car. [It's currently sitting on my desk though - somehow we managed to come home with it - doh!].

There were a bunch of runners who totally smashed their predictions - this seems to be more of a thing when people haven't raced a mile before - but it's still nice to see their faces when they see just how quick they've gone.

The quicks are impressive too. We all enjoyed watching long-plaited Emily take a chunk out of her time from last year - she's one to watch for the future!

After the main races came the team photo, and the relay. We brainstormed ideas the night before, and decided that ten dried peas would make a challenging baton - with time penalties for any dropped. It's really good watching everyone laughing at themselves and each other as they struggle with the changeovers - and I like dealing with all the queries about tactics.

And all too quickly, it was time for me to sample some cake, have a few chats, hugs and handshakes. Murphey was another new-to-me Fetchie, who thought his user ID was in the thousands. Turns out he's 277. One for the stickerbook :-)

We made it home to chilli cooked by my big sis, and a recording of the Wales match, which I'd managed to avoid hearing anything about during the mile - so that was a nice way to round off the evening.

We've been talking a lot about Fetch Miles for next year. The current thinking is that we may not do so many, but would like to make them bigger. So we're aiming at making Manchester our next one, because we've promised - and hoping to get as big an attendance as we possibly can. More news soon, I promise.

Although it's nice to get away somewhere, I wonder if it would be more practical for you to generally organise miles which are within staying at home distance from you?* (Even though that would be useless for me ;-) But hey, we should be arranging our own. Thank you again for doing Glasgow.)

Fix It Friday

9:33am, 2 Nov 2018
A quick one this week, as we're due to drive to Wales later on this morning.

1) After a chat with run free, I've added a new category to the 'Race Review' to allow you all to vote on how plastic-sensible events are. We discussed the possibility of measuring litter at races (discarded gel wrappers, grrr!), but agreed that front runners and tail runners would have completely different perspectives. Anyway... of the two big races last weekend, Snowdonia scored 3.83 out of 5, and Beachy scored 3.43. It'll be interesting to see how this pans out. You are welcome to retrospectively review any of your races here: fetcheveryone.com/raceportfolio.php

2) I've fixed a few small bugs with the Fitbit import, and added it as an option when you click 'Add Training' at the top of the page (desktop), and in various other places around the site where adding training is an option. Set up your Fitbit: fetcheveryone.com/fitbit.php

3) If you're sending fmail, there's an auto-complete feature for the recipient nickname. Start typing the nickname, and when you're three letters in, it will start giving you options, which will narrow down as you add letters. I've also tried ordering the names in such a way that the most prominent Fetchies tend to be closer to the top of the list. Try it: fetcheveryone.com/msg_compose.php

4) Likewise, I've tried to simplify the nomination process for Member of the Month, by allowing you to type the nickname, rather than hunting down the user profile and looking for the link. As we're very early in the month, there are no November nominees yet, but if you'd like to try nominating someone, here's the page: fetcheveryone.com/member-of-the-month-nominees.php

4b) RedVenom have upped their offering, with an exclusive 20% discount code FETCH20 - and they'll also make a contribution to Fetch from every order using that code - so please take a look at their stuff. This link will take you to their website: fetcheveryone.com/redvenom-redirect.php

5) If you want to include a poll in your forum thread, blog, or pretty much anywhere, you can now embed them, just like you do with images. Find or create your poll by going to Forum > Polls, and then look for the little square bracketed code e.g. [ POLL 1234 ] - then paste that wherever you want the poll to appear. People can vote wherever the poll appears. Have a controversial example:



6) And finally... on Tuesday evening I accidentally added some ads to the site that were appearing for all users. I've fixed that now. If you're a voluntary subscriber, you can turn the ads off. And if you're not, please consider it. I really don't like having to push ads on the site, but if you're using it for free, that's the trade-off unfortunately. Imagine you're buying me a coffee or a shot of absinthe once a month, and it all goes away ;-) Here's the link: fetcheveryone.com/invite.php

As always, suggest your fixes for the coming week... :-)
