Accidental runner, general good egg.

Here we go again. Bluesky deciding what users want to see and filtering "liberal" content.

Is there really no chance of a nice social network not run by wankers??
Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

The hallowed "good" race photo, that most elusive of beasts.

Eric has some skill with the camera, made me look like I was an actual runner!

Lovely and weird to briefly be the poster boy for a winter ultra. Highly recommend the Goat if you're up for a challenge.

On today's run I did a sub 4 minute kilometre.

Hardly Bannister, but not too shabby considering.

The last 200m was a grim hang on, blowing out my arse. Seconds really do stretch when you're in the red.

I'm in the Lakeland 100 2026!!

Ballot was entered on my birthday so it's definitely a nice nod from the universe.

First summer ultra in 6 or 7 years too, can't wait.

Who's done it? Any tips?

Really wish more people in the UK would realise this.

Alas, the structure of our energy market means we are forced to pay the highest daily strike price.

Market reform is urgently needed, and very much achievable for the government.

Contact your MP and demand change!
Germany gets 60% of its power from renewables and is shutting down its coal plants. No blackouts. No high bills. Every right wing lie about renewables has been proven false.

Last night Anna Troup won the ladies race of Race Across Scotland, finishing 4th overall.

This after outright winning the summer Spine Race in June.

After nearly 3 years out with injury.

Oh, and she's 55 for anyone thinking age makes the slightest difference in ultra events.

Inspirational!

This is a superb bit of work.
Here's my first go at creating a Routes Wheel for imagining the diverse range of active route providers, users, types & benefits.

Read from outside in. Try spinning the rings!

Would love your thoughts on what needs adding.

Yesterday Dan Lawson set a new record for the South West Coast Path.

You may not have heard much about his attempt because he's a low key kinda guy.

630 miles.
Over 35,000 metres of elevation gain.
Blistering heat.
Under 10 days.

Simply incredible.

Hugely impressed by England's test series victory in Argentina. Away from home against a top side, several of our best players with the Lions.

A few lads have possession of those shirts now & should be trusted with them for the Autumn Internationals

Thoughts @squidgerugby.bsky.social ?

First woman to ever do so.

Are we approaching the edge of human potential in the Backyard Ultras?

Looking like either Caleb or Chris will be pushing for the win now they've built a steady lead, such a long way still to go so it could easily change.

Kilian though......❤️

This is insane.

11 runners within 2:30 of each other at 30 miles.

Who makes a break for it? Who will cope with the heat? So many potential deciding factors.

Astonishing stuff.

This is it, the final day.

The effort required is now total.

The desire to finish has to outweigh everything.

Those dots you see are the toughest, most beautiful people you might never meet.

Pretty brutal conditions today for the exhausted runners still pushing on at the @spinerace.bsky.social

Hot, humid, zero shade, nowhere to hide.

Personal admin is of paramount importance now.
