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!

Boring? Used to get Bored when I was a teenager, many years ago.
Now, hardly ever.
Running never. There's alwa loads of stuff happening, some of it totally subjective.
How's poor leg doing, what's that pain? Etc
Other runners always interesting.
For a lot of my runs/ walks there's also the added " thrill" of trying to follow a route deception or map.l

Give me a race! Even the Monklands HM!

Actually, i modified one of my fakeparkun courses for the ice, making it a double out and back on an unfinished cycle path, and as i was running it I thought "this really is quite a boring route".

Not a bad undead thread! Laps of an athletics track doesn't do it for me. Otherwise, the whole 'race business' was enough stimulation for me to enjoy my day, if not my performance. :)

Got something to say?
