Nearly a week since Edinburgh Marathon, it's time for a round up and photo dump A marathon PB by 1 minute 41 seconds. I was hoping to get 3:43:00. I just didn't get to that time the way I had planned. I had a pacing plan on my… #emf2025 #marthonrunnersofinstagram #runnersofinstagram #marathonrace

A stop off at Kelso on the way to Edinburgh. #parkruntourist #parkruntourism #parkrun #parkrunnersofinstagram

Marathon ready. Training done ✔️ (@trainasone) a bit of a hiccup with a hamstring pull with @hexhamphysio sorted ✔️ Carb loading done ✔️ with some great tips from @nutrition.for.energy (which he will share if you drop him a pm) Race… #EdinburghMarathon2025 #EdinburghMarathon #emf20025 #emf

The @upthepoly Cookson 10K. The race with the epic classic album inspired t-shirt. This year, The Stone Roses. I really enjoyed this one, partly because I wasn't going flat out for my best effort. I was saving my legs for Sunday's… #cookson10k #northshieldspoly #monkseatonhighschool #monkseaton

Cutting it a bit fine, the number for Sunday's marathon arrived today. The tapering is on, and the carb loading will start to build. The weather forecast looks OK, maybe some light rain showers which I'm happy with. Bring it on. #EdinburghMarathon #ukrunchat #runningchannel

It was great to meet and hear @pauls-h.bsky.social this morning at the Hexham Book Festival. Such a down to earth and relatable man, I'm really looking forward to reading the book. #ukrunchat #parkrun

Boston (UK) marathon, it was flat. Flatter than the flattest pancake, it made the rest of the Fens look like the Alps. The aim was to just get around injury free, after hamstring strain 6 weeks ago. Fully achieved. I ran 32k, jeffed 5k & pushed for the last 5k. Really surprised to get under 4 hours

A lovely parkrun at Boston parkrun with a great set of marshals, especially the ones encouraging everyone up the "hill", which is a small incline for anyone not native to the Fens 🤣 then exploring Boston, mainly the Stump ahead of the marathon tomorrow. #parkrun #bostonmarathon #bostonmarathonuk

Spoiler alert: most runners have not hit Book 1 yet. #BM100

It's now been made public, that @pauls-h.bsky.social is talking at #Hexham Book Festival. Will there be a visit to Tyne Green parkrun or Junior parkrun that weekend, too? I was potentially running a race that day as part of marathon training, I may re think my plans. #parkrun

A very emotional Prudhoe R'side parkrun as we celebrated the life of Richard Weymes. One of life's really great guys. Who was sadly lost to us this week, totally devastating for all. He was incredibly supportive of all in all aspects of life, not just running www.facebook.com/share/v/155v...

Christmas day parkrun at Prudhoe Riverside, then back home for breakfast (the egg was perfectly poached, 👌 my cooking skills have peaked 😂) & presents 😀 Merry Christmas to you all #parkrunnersofbluesky #runnersofbluesky #parkrun #christmasparkrun #christmasdayparkrun #prudhoeriversideparkrun

Time wheel this one out again . #christmasEve #T'wasTheNightBeforeChristmas

🤣🤣🤣

#parkrun volunteering with my favourite daughter, at #TyneGreen. She missed last week due to breaking her foot, but back on it! That's completed her 5 hours volunteering she needed for her Uni sports science course. She's enjoyed it but I fear she may return to Saturday morning hibernation 🤣😥

The Stocksfield Striders Santa Run. To start getting in the Christmas mood. A steady 4 mile social run, with a stop for a glass of Bailey's at half way. 🎅 🎄🎅 #runnersofblusky #santarun #christmas #santa

A bit of local #volunteer tourism at Town Moor #parkrun today. It was meant to be a double act with my favourite daughter, but she learnt earlier in the week, on a night out, that heels and alcohol can be a risky mix, resulting in a fractured foot/metatarsal. So I was solo for the morning.

Hopefully I didn't upset too many Scots with my attire at Tyne Green parkrun this week. Luckily I didn't try out my dubious attempt at a Scottish accent. I went with a Scottish theme as it was St Andrew's Day, at least there were other kilts on view, some the real thing #parkrun #hexham #ukrunchat

Massive away win for the little fella.

Tyne Green parkrun is back! There may be a #Scottish theme for #StAndrew'sDay The often repeated "Freedom" quote is a modern day re write of history or fake story, William was passionate about #parkrun as we all know #running #runners #runnersofbluesky #tynegreenparkrun #hexham #ukrunchat

The routine has started today, which means only 1 thing. Race day next Sunday! Beet It beetroot juice daily I've not entered yet as family commitments may trump race plans, I'll know nearer the day, but fingers 🤞 are crossed for the Run Through Running GP Croft Motor Circuit marathon - 13 laps

This is the "man's best friend" film that made everyone cry at the KMF. A great story, with stunning visuals of the Lake District #fellrunning

parkrun cancelled 😥 cross country cancelled 😱 TrainAsOne training plan has scheduled a rest day Do I go out for a run? Yes of course. At least 1 mile to keep the run streak going (but not tell TrainAsOne, so I don't upset the AI person 😂), or I may do tomorrow's run, so i can be out in the snow

It's looking like perfect weather for XC tomorrow.😂 A new venue for the North East Harrier League at Eltringham Farm, Prudhoe. Hopefully plenty of clarts/mud. #crossCountryRunning #xcrunning #stormBert #NEHL #eltringhamFarm #moraleeHerefords #prudhoe

First short statement to Stravas API agreement changes blog.runalyze.com/allgemein-en...

Strava’s just announced some massive changes that will ultimately kill off a lot of 3rd party apps, impact other platforms, and reduce the value of Strava. Here’s why this matters, who’s it going to break, and more: www.dcrainmaker.com/2024/11/stra...

A bit of a harsh analysis of last night's club social run by roastmystrava.com. A good bit of lightheaded use of AI. Not as cutting the ones on the Wooler trails runs, I'll share them later #ukrunchat #running #strava #roastmystrava #StocksfieldStriders

A new network of trails coming to Northumberland. Connecting Kielder & Hardians Wall, with initially 9 loops that interconnect, so it's possible to make longer or shorter loops #trails #trailrunning #gravelbike #ultramarathon #northumberland #activetravel. #cycling #hadrianswall reivertrails.com
