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!

There’s a guy who has 2:24 in results but 3:44 on strava - clearly not his fault but the crap app.

I'm doing okay, but really tired. I started at midnight and walked for 6.5hrs, but didn't sleep beforehand and tried to stay away throughout the day yesterday. I got 10hrs sleep last night but still tired.

There is something off with the results as my time was 100% just under 6:30. I.E., I started at just gone midnight and finished just before at 6:30am. But my result shows as 6hrs in the results. I'm not bothered personally, but it is odd. I suppose there is a possibility that people could claim qualifying times if others have had this issue too.

To rectify I've emailed and also connected my Strava. The London site searched my activities and came up with this. It's the correct name of my strava activity, but the start time is an hour late, which still doesn't account for the 30-mins discrepancy in my finish time. Very odd.

and this is why I did not use the app! LOL
Still managed to lose 30% of battery without using the phone (just receiving updates to watch) so definitely would have died

aubernette - if my Garmin records a race as short I usually assume that it is.

The results have to be taken a bit as 'just for fun' I think though I do feel sorry for those trying to verify their GFA for next year that have been affected.

I like to pop and drain mine (which yours has done itself from the sounds of it) then leave them to dry out naturally as much as I can EP - if it's causing you a problem walking I guess you might want to Compeed it though. One of the benefits of wfh is that you can go sockless for the day!

@LMH I do if a lot of people seem to have recorded it short (e.g. there are a few parkruns which are definitely short and you can see it in people's results) but weirdly it was only me that had it under distance! The rest of my club were all recording it slightly over. Maybe I was running excellent tangents!

That's very strange auburnette - you must have been 'on the blue line' :-)
