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!

Lovely badges - thank you Fetch

Still pulling my thoughts together on all this - the overall fatigue is taking longer to abate than I expected - but a few observations to be going on with.

I managed what I did on Saturday because I committed to the challenge - I decided some time ago that it would be 'an event' and I planned accordingly.

I made sure anybody who could be affected knew what I was doing, recced a (small) number of routes I could use, bought a range of foods for fuelling throughout and set up a sort of Basecamp in our utility room from which to operate. I deliberately made myself self-sufficient (I recognise that may not work so well for others) and adapted within the framework I'd set. There's likely some details to tweak when my head starts working again but it seemed to go OK overall :)

I had a great time on Saturday, I ran more miles in one day than I've ever done before (all my marathons have involved more than a little walking, but on Saturday I ran every single yard of 45KM) but now I'm starting to think I might have done it wrong.

I did it while sleep deprived, my body clock still being messed up from watching the election on TV the night before.
I did not plan any routes, just had a vague idea of what loops are about three miles from my front door, and then just made up the distance before I stopped.

Did not have a fuelling strategy, I made myself a mug of coffee after my first f'lap, and finished drinking it after my second.

I mostly spent the time between f'laps playing on duolingo, I swapped my t-shirt for a dry one every couple of laps, and before the 7am f'lap (when I started my journey to pkrun) I did find time for a quick shower.
I had a fried breakfast after my final f'lap / pkrun, and were the cafe not there I probably could have managed another 5k.

For next year I think I'll either need to start sooner, or avoid pkruns with a nice cafe if I'm to add an extra 5 or 10K. I am quite tempted to try the same (non) strategy at Manvers Dusk Till Dawn in a couple of weeks time.

@geordiegirl i cannot run just now owing to injury but Fomo and deciding to be last on purpose so no one else would be last was enough motivation. And now a badge for my great benevolence. Which makes it seem a bit less benevolent now.

About This Thread

Maintained by fetcheveryone
I thought it'd be good to have a thread for discussing F'Laps 2025 (Date 5th July 2025). 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.
