Back home, back to familiar trails but oof .. shin splints from the coastal ups and downs! 😩 #trailrunning

Last night’s view of Longships Lighthouse. I now have a VERY long drive north ahead of me, please send lively “stay awake” playlist suggestions 🎶 #roadtrip #vanlife

Did an evening hike and saw a Northern Wheatear at Land’s End #cornwall

Corks popping at the Classic Quarter - brilliant to see runners coming in to finish after 44 miles, Lizard to Land’s End 👏 👏 #endurancelife #trailrunning #Cornwall

After a lifetime of running avoidance, last weekend I ran my first* half marathon ☀️ *implies I might do another, not sure yet! #trailrunning #trailpursuit #Cornwall

Friday evening curry and reggae party in the van for me and Joe hound 🐾 #vanlife

“Sennen, in particular Mayon Cliff, remain an important training ground for the Royal Marines, who to this day use its challenging climbs to train their commandos” No soldiers or rock climbers today but I did see more choughs.. #cornwall #climbing

As I am actually here it would seem rude not to #fingerpostfriday

Coming to you live, watching waves at the end of the land #cornwall

A super slow return to coastal #trailrunning following some rest and recovery after the HM. Evil winds were against me in every direction today. Chuffed to see some choughs!

SPINE is now live on Kickstarter. The follow-up to DO NOT BLOCK GATE. A photographic journey through the 2026 Montane Winter Spine Race — documenting isolation, resilience and life on the Pennine Way in winter. Shares appreciated. ❤️ www.kickstarter.com/projects/v-p... #spinerace #photography

The weather way out west #cornwall has turned wet and wild this evening but I’m happily hiding in the van with the hound. We did manage to get out to one of our favourite places..

Joe is 12 yrs old and has just walked five miles on the coast path 🐾 #goodboy

Woken by heavy rain on the van roof. Gwynver surfers seen from Escalls Cliff (cairn) last night #cornwall 🏄‍♂️

Solo biking on the Yorkshire moors OTD in 2020, when we were allowed outside for exercise

Post-run recovery mode, a cooling (actually freezing) dip in the sea ☀️ 🌊

Decamped to the end of the land #Cornwall

Passing two elderly posh ladies during my run today: Posh lady 1: what ARE you doing? Me: a half marathon Posh lady 2: you stupid man

A very hot and very hilly coastal half marathon done in officially 3h5m. Very happy with that. Absolutely trashed though 😩 #trailrunning #Cornwall

Hot 🥵 hilly 😬 stunning 😍 #trailrunning #cornwall

Cornish sunset, this is where we’ll be running at the weekend 🤩 #cornwall

Parked up with tea and a sea view ready for a #trailrunning recce tomorrow

This noisy thing shouting “Hello! Hello! Hello!!” as I’m picking out my plants..

Easy no-cook dinners for the heat this week: Monday: Cornetto Tuesday: Magnum Wednesday: Solero Thursday: Calippo Friday: Viennetta

It's so hot and I'm injured (with less than a week to go to my first HM 🤦‍♂️) so have scaled back to evening walks with the hound. My usual lake loop trail has had a makeover, no more slippery mud.. #trailrunning

Way too hot out already, even in the woods 🥵 #trailrunning

That nerdy gay dweeb kid deemed shit at sports and always last to be picked for any team? I found my thing.. 🏃‍♂️ #trailrunning #fellrunning #KMF26

Hefted's Countrystride podcast 🎧 talks the history of #LakeDistrict guidebooks while hiking on the fells above Derwentwater

Photos from the KMF 10K which involved a boat crossing to the start point #trailrunning #fellrunning

Wildlife crime article worth a read + a petition to sign..

A great article about #fellrunning and the fun film Winner Gets Cake, which I saw in Keswick this weekend. It's on the Kendal Mountain Player (subscription - link below)

Absolutely loved the KMF 10K trail/fell run today, what a brilliant event. Everything just fell into place and I took exactly three minutes off last year’s time for a new PB 💥 Really happy! 😊 #trailrunning #fellrunning

KMF 25K gets underway #trailrunning #fellrunning

Keep refreshing the feed today as @peterunner.bsky.social takes on the Bob Graham Round - he set off at 6pm last night #dotwatching 👇

Kendal Mountain Festival “Running Special” films on tour at the Keswick Mountain Festival this evening with an actual run taking place through the screening! #KMF26 #running #fellrunning

Choughs reappear at Tintagel Castle in Cornwall after decades of absence

I’ve done lasagne, Med veg and wholewheat so it’s practically a health food. What’s the carb loading window for a half marathon, do we start three weeks out?

Osees #trailrunning tune of the day - for wet forest trails

Inspired by the #trailrunning film I posted earlier, set off in a hailstorm, into a dripping forest, leaping through puddles, new PBs 💥 around the lake - a test for the new dayglo Inov8s 😎

Some of us might need this one today. A short film about #trailrunning in the rain ☔

#trailrunning tune of the day 😁

I'm batch cooking and just labelled all the freezer bags "12/5/1976"

A rare evening outing (I’m a morning runner) with birdsong all around the lake #trailrunning

Long(er) run day so 8.1 miles done on the road with company for most of it and sun for all of it - both were nice! #running #sunrise

My HRV has dropped off a cliff (overtraining?) and my training plan has moved into a short and slow runs phase. Sunday’s lake loop done with one week to go to the 10K fell race 😬 #trailrunning

Man Down 2026, what an epic day! Full results here: resultsbase.net/event/7452/r... #purplegeckoevents #trailrunning #canicross #mandown

A pleasant morning run, lathered in Deep Heat like a channel swimmer. Felt good 🏃‍♂️ #trailrunning
