I'm just going to say it: Some of the worst advice on endurance training, VO2max, etc. comes from non-endurance fitness influencers They know enough to be dangerous, but not enough to know they are wrong You're better off listening to a HS cross-country coach.

Seriously?! This is outrageous, how dare @KeirStarmer pretend that Digital ID is what will sort out our broken homes transaction system, he’s a lawyer FFS he knows this isn’t true.
I recently spoke with someone buying a house with her partner. She told me that she had to pay just to verify who she was. With digital ID that could be done in seconds and wipe out the costs. Digital ID will save you time and money.

Truly awful specimen. I hope a similar fate awaits those evil killers of James Bulger one day…
This may be too upsetting for some to sit through, but I had no idea of the exact circumstances surrounding Ian Watkins arrest. Shocking incompetence by police if true vm.tiktok.com/ZMAQMyXU8/

Tut tut United Utilities. Increase bills to get an extra £33m profit and this is what we get…
"Sewage dumped illegally in Windermere over 3 years." And the @EnvAgency does what exactly? Collaborate, would that be too strong a word? 🤔 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cdrj…

Message to @TheSun - the “ill fan” has passed away. On behalf of Iain’s family and friends, my fellow @OfficialBWFC supporters, and football generally, I would request issue of a formal apology for this insensitive, provocative and sensationalist headline. RIP Iain 💔 @CGreenUK

Let’s talk about Nike…a brand that treats men like Dylan Mulvaney that pretend to be women better than it treats women. In 2018, Nike Brand Ambassador and Model 10 x Olympic Medalist 🥇Allyson Felix got pregnant. Nike then offered her 70% less pay than her original contract with the brand and gave her no guarantees of paying her if her performance as a brand ambassador declined during her pregnancy and gave her no maternity protections. Instead of being treated so unfairly, Allyson left Nike and 2 years later launched her own incredibly successful women’s brand, Athleta 👚 #WomensEmpowerment #RespectWomen #nike #dylanmulvaney #gowokegobroke

Track and Field = dumbest sport at the pro level Imagine an NBA team saying “We’re only competing in the playoffs if we are a 5 seed or better” Yet, that’s what occurs every year in track. Countries decline spots/set higher standards then the governing body of the sport sets.

The "Czech Locomotive" - a long-distance runner Emil Zátopek - was born 100 year ago. He became world-famous by winning 🥇🥇🥇at the 1952 Olympics Games in Helsinki (5 000m, 10 000m and Marathon). Zátopek was also the first runner to break the 29-minute barrier in 10 000m.

Oh my days that was hard! The last few miles put me in that special dark place reserved only for the marathon 🌚😂 So pleased that the last few months (and years…) of work have paid off. 2:22.27 5th place finish 2nd on UK All Time list. I’ll take that ✌🏻

Great to chat with fellow Harriers chaps Marc & Karl on their latest podcast. Well worth following and having a listen back to their previous podcasts too.

Carlsberg don’t make weeks, but if they did it probably look something like the last 7 days I’ve just had. I can’t express how much everyone’s comments have capped everything off. I kept fighting through the years but never did I dream quite like this. Thankyou all so much.

Thankyou @BritAthletics for the invitation ( that I did not receive) to the zoom meeting yesterday to discuss all things concerning the #Olympictrialmarathon .. I wonder how many others were not invited who have athletes who should be considered for the trial?

Glad to see some pioneers haven’t forgotten their roots
People are dying. People are losing jobs. People that have very little are losing what they have and before it is even close to being over a billionaire goes to the PM to beg for money for himself. This is distasteful.

Brilliant run by Michael and pb’s at 5km, 10km and half marathon in the space of a few weeks 👍
Last night he broke the club record set by Adam Booth of 17:22 last April at Worden 5K! @podium5k This is the fastest we have recorded for anybody in our club over the distance! Well done @ClucasMichael and a pat on the back to your coach @RunFish82 #brrstrong #5k #recordbreaker
