Every other race photo from MIUT I'm smiling in, obviously caught unawares for this one. Kinda like it though. 📸🤣

Sunset runs are back! 🌄😍

What a weekend!! That's one tough race, had to work bloody hard for this buckle. Stoked to finish Arc of Attrition 100 in 23:07:04, 12th overall. So glad I took Monday off. 🫠🤣 Great to see you out there @smillbery.bsky.social & thanks for the photos. 😀

Well this isn't going to last...

Well this isn't going to last...

Looks like we're going to see some challenging conditions during this year's edition of Arc of Attrition. I blame UTMB. 🤣

Take a bow @nuddypants.bsky.social 🙌

UTMB ✖️ TDS ✔️ 💩💩

Kim Collison has done it! This *is* his year and he has touched the wall as the winner of the 2025 Montane Spine Race. 268 miles and 39,000 feet of climb and 3 previous attempts. Outstanding achievement and I couldn’t be happier for him 🤩 Hi smile is very well earned #SpineRace

Another bluebird day taking on the Sellaronda Round in a clockwise direction. 🏂🤟😎

Pharmacy read -12 on this morning's run & I didn't stack it. 🥶 Another beaut of a day!

Belter of a day up in the mountains. *yes my goggles are big enough 🤣

Morning run with all the views! 😍🥶

Peak week slush.

The weather forecast for the Spine Race is starting to look... wintery. 🥶

I'm far from a high level athlete but even if I wanted to. 😴

To all my running friends on here, I'm RD'ing my club's Trail 10k in June and entries have just gone live www.atwevents.co.uk/e/triffic-tr... I'm not just saying this because of vested interest honest, it really is a lovely little race and easily accessible by London underground

Easily pleased. 🤣 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Cracking weekend helping out at Embrace Ultras inaugural Winter Wanderlust Marathon & Ultra. Great to catch up with familiar faces & see runners accomplish their goals. 🙌😀

Not just any cat... 🐈

Watched this Joss Naylor tribute film 'King of the Fells' at this year's Kendal Mountain Festival. It's a great watch, no one beating that these days. www.theguardian.com/sport/ng-int...

One of the keys to elite performance is staying in the game long enough to allow your talent to fully express. A rush to be great can often impede our development Be patient Focus on consistency over heroic efforts Play the long game Keep & develop the joy of the pursuit

Drawing the universal distress signal 'SOS' along the entire length of the Mer de Glace with headlamps! ❄️ 💡 That was the ambitious goal of this project involving a large team of 15 people on the glacier to focus attention to its disappearance 🔥🌡️ 🎥 More here vegardaasen.com/thesosproject

Trail running gives me headspace, allowing disconnection from the world on a daily basis. I don't wear headphones, allowing me to really connect with nature & surroundings.

WD200 entries in both women's & men's competitions looks spicy. Looking forward to watching this race unfold in the coming days.

She's settling in nicely... & the tree is still standing. 🐈🎄

Caught a cold on the flight home last week, got off lightly. Let the training can commence!

The Ibiza blues are real right now. 😭

People who say winter is their favourite season are weird, and when asked to justify it will describe some perfect scene that happens once or twice a year. Blue sky, crisp still air etc. That's not a season, it's a weekend. Winter is 99% dark, overcast, rainy and blowing a gale.

Love this capture from the weekend by the talented Matias Novo.👌📸

Gavin Dale sets a new Winter Bob Graham Round record, completing it overnight in 14hrs 57mins. 😮👏

Great watch! 👏

Great day out at yesterday's Ibiza Ultra Trail. Plenty of technical terrain from the get go with 10000ft of elevation over 45 miles. Stoked to finish 5th overall & collect a chopping board. 😎

We've been visiting Ibiza for the last 18 years, yet this is the first time sitting on this beach. The island never ceased to deliver the goods. 🌅

The world would be a much better place if everyone took a walk every day. No music, phone, device. Just you and your thoughts or you, a friend, and dialogue. Consider it recess for adults. Time to allow your mind to reset and recharge

That's me... honest guv. 🤣

Shout out to the folks on the Worn Wear Patagonia stand at the Kendal Mountain Festival for fixing my fleece popper with a jazzier replacement. 🙌

Today's KMF10k trail race was quite possibly the wettest & coldest race I have run to date. I actually run the whole race in full waterproofs. Good mixture of terrain with ice, mud & ankle deep freezing cold puddles throughout.

Cracking start to a weekend away with the chaps. Headed out for a 10 mile loop around Staveley, making the most of the conditions before storm Bert.

So... about this morning's cycle commute. Two pairs of gloves kinda day.

Site foreman seems happy with the repair job to the new (old💚) Mudtalons. Just took them out for a first rip... and they didn't. 😀

Made me chuckle. Had to be done after reading @trailsandales.bsky.social roasting. 🤣 roastmystrava.com/dashboard

Do hard things. Your body shifts its sensitivity to different feelings and experiences. If we don't experience discomfort for a while, the inner alarm rings earlier. Experiencing pain or discomfort (i.e. exercising hard) helps to keep your inner world in tune.

Going away on a trip involves packing WAY more running gear (for every eventuality) than casual clothes. True say.

Hi guys, we're still after a couple of volunteers for the Saturday morning at Boxhill where the 200 mile runners are based. They will have been running for 40hrs by 8am on Saturday. If you can spare a couple of hrs then please drop Mike an email on [email protected] Thanks all.

Just when you think you have all the kit required for ultras, you have to level up gear for a winter race. 🤑 Adventures are getting bigger so not like I won't need it in the future. Four P's & all that.
