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!

People on running forums who set themselves up as experts when their level of knowledge and experience is such that they should really be asking the most basic of questions.

(Not this one, obvs.)

On the same lines, running experts who advise you just because it works for them. Thanks to a certain website (not Fetch of course), the bad advice cost me about 45 minutes in what turned out to be an extremely painful marathon experience.

I had the mature women advert. I am a mature woman. It's nothing personal!

Tailored was perhaps the word I was looking for, as I've never looked at dating sites. Although I do look at a lot of outdoor activity shops - perhaps there's an algorithmic link?
