I would like to thank the Chatterbox team for being so understanding about my run commutes, snack obsession and office-based foam rolling. 🙃 You lot are wonderful.
What a way to introduce our new in house producer Lydia Thomson!
Running 100 miles, coming 3rd out of the female runners and all done in slightly over 23 hrs 🤯
We knew she could do it 💪🏅
Is this the start of the Chatterbox running club? 🤔
I absolutely loved working on #HowToBuildaBoat. We all knew we were handling something really special, so I’m really happy it’s on the Booker Longlist! The audiobook was perfectly cast with @cobbler00 - his performance is a delicate, remarkable thing.
Courtney Dauwalter set the Western States 100 course record of 15:29:34 three weeks ago.
Today, she set a course record at the Hardrock 100 in 26:14:08, for a combined time of 41:43:42.
This resets the overall record for this double of 42:12:43 (Jeff Browning, 2016). #HR100

One runner, after finishing his loop and dropping, cooked an egg burrito while showering. Like, took a camp stove and skillet into the shower, cooked the eggs, etc., and ate the tortilla. In the shower. #BM100
Felling began this week on the Parkland Walk. Nesting season starts early in the climate crisis. When will nature be respected instead of concrete? We are not being listened to, asking for nature and wildlife to be put first. @WoodlandTrust@haringeycouncil@CatherineWest1
Dear @RunComPod, as fellow runners on Parkland Walk, might you be willing to help spread the word? The council are trying to cut down the ancient hairy oak at the Stanhope Road entrance. Protestors are there today to stop it - the more people who go and in support, the better. 🙏
On January 28, @keelyhodgkinson broke a 19-year-old world indoor 600m record with a stunning run of 1:23.41 at @BryggenSports in Manchester 🔥
We went exclusively behind the scenes for the day 📺

My mum just informed that she’s got daffodils coming through in the garden (in Hampshire). This is terrifying. @BBCSpringwatch@ChrisGPackham I thought you’d appreciate this info.
If, like me, you’re going to avoid putting the heating on but your towels won’t dry, I highly recommend a microfibre towel. (Is this slightly depressing? Slightly.)
Warning: when we finished recording this one, I wailed into the talkback, "I just want to have a big cry" and Natalie brought me a box of tissues. Highly likely she won't also bring you tissues, but you will have a lot of feelings. I heart Medusa.
