For Trail Running UK magazine, I wrote about doing the Source of the Nile Trail Run in #Uganda , a year ago. You don't have to read this to see I did actually do it (well the 12km, not the ultra). Just look at the pic of my face covered in dirt. #trailrunning#running#Africa

🚨 London Protest for Palestine
⏰ Saturday 19 October, 2-4PM
📍 Trafalgar Square, London
Israel is intensifying its genocidal violence in Gaza, bombing Palestinians in hospitals, schools and refugee camps and burning those sheltering alive.

If you live in London please join the protest for Palestine this Saturday as part of the Day of Action to demand our government institute a 2-way arms embargo on Israel.
