Aside from running I also enjoy reading, especially non-fiction history and politics. I am looking for some reading suggestions for 2025…I have just purchased Nexus by Yuval Noah Harari. All suggestions welcome! 📖📚 #reading #non-fiction #readsfor2025

Social media can be off putting for new runners. Influences often speak about cadence, heart rate zones, tempo, threshold etc.
My advice is don’t listen to the noise, get yourself a suitable pair of running shoes, listen to your body and start stomping tarmac!! 🏃🏻💨

Work and home life have been manic the last week or so and sadly I’ve neglected my running. 5k progression run today to get the blood pumping again.

It’s been a tough week with family and work stresses. A run in the countryside really does reset and reinvigorates the mind 🧘🌳🌾🚜🐄

So what’s on everybody’s running Christmas list? 🎄🎅🏻
I currently run with a Fitbit sense, linked to Strava. I am looking for an upgrade and considering asking Santa for a Garmin Forerunner 265 ⌚️
Does anybody have any views on a good mid-range running watch?

We conquered the Silverstone Half Marathon in support of breast cancer, undeterred by Storm Burt’s relentless driving rain and 60mph winds. And to top it off, I smashed a personal best with a time of 1:49:04!…now time for a Chinese and chill! #breastcancer #silverstonehalf #runners #pb

I have a stinking cold, storm Bert is doing his thing, but I am ready for tomorrow’s half marathon at Silverstone.
I will be running with my brother-in-law who lost his younger sister to breast cancer in the summer.

I’m curious to know what people’s listening preferences are when running! Personally, for a 5k–10k, I tend to go for music, but for anything longer, it’s usually a history podcast. What about you?

I followed the #hardestgeezer ‘s journey on YouTube…what an inspiration!…pushing body and mind to new limits by running the length of Africa and raising over £1m for #therunningcharity and #sandblast
His book will certainly be on my Christmas list.
