Accidental runner, general good egg.
Northern.
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.

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?

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.

Oh to be in Kirk Yetholm right now.

What a moment this is going to be.

Anna Troup, outright winner of the full Summer Spine.

The incomparable Anna Troup, leading the Full Spine, just passing Byrness on her way to Kirk Yetholm.

2nd place is still in Bellingham so it's looking good!

Who else is enthralled by the current state of the @spinerace.bsky.social Big Race?

First and second in Alston.

Jon Shield and Anna Troup.

Who's feeling better out of the 2 of them? The psychology is fascinating.

If Jon could see ghosts, Tiaan would be just up the hill from him right now.

Would not be the least bit surprised if he's got the record schedule on his watch, it's definitely in the front of his mind.

Go Jon!

All to play for in the women's race of Challenger South

3 racers within a mile of each other. PYG and the dreaded Cam High Road to face.

Loving this.

Sometimes feel like I don't understand the world any more.

The "bladed product" is a pair of kitchen scissors.

How have we got to this?

Views for days....

A mini adventure in the Lakes, bagging some new Wainwrights and enjoying blissful solitude.

Check out this #Sentinel3 image from 2 April 2025 provides a rare, cloud-free view of the British Isles.

Time to join the fun. Heading up to Hut 1 in the Cheviots to watch over the runners as part of the safety team.

He's been out there, alone, for a long time. Just him against the elements.

He can quite literally see the finish from where he is.

He has 45 minutes.

Go Edwin!

Coming over the hill and seeing Hawes below you is a mega feeling when you're near the back of the pack, imagine being first!

Can't wait to hear how it went for him, what an adventure and what a run.

A day of fun, scenes and smart decisions (the summit will always be there another day)

Wind crust on deep powder is a slog!

Yesterday was a total celebration of everything great about #ultrarunning

Friends, scenery, mad weather, it had the lot.

Stairs are not my friend today!
