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!

Let's go for differently numerate.

The fact of the matter is that 48 minutes of cycling or 39 minutes of running both get you one point, which is perfectly fair. Even I manage to cycle more than I run.

You only need to do 13 minutes of swimming to get a point, because swimming is hard work, as Gobi knows.

It's the percentage cap on cycling which causes me the grief. It is weighted to favour excessive running.

The percentage cap on running (and swimming for that matter) hit me just as hard as the cap on cycling does you. Obviously.

Gobi: understood. I've been known to do the same thing myself when provoked.
