My running betrayal list 1. Forgetting to go for a wee before the start 2. Testing carb gels on race day 3. Overconfidence in my pace early on 4. Chub rub 5. The London Marathon photographers Oh and I’m still raising money for @refugecharity.bsky.social 😉 www.justgiving.com/page/0n1ydan5

Heading up to the London office so thought I’d put some nice things on. What we reckon? 
Going for a Japanese theme which I think works for Autumn too.
Only downside is it’s early so I’m a bit bleary eyed but nothing a decent coffee won’t fix! 
#ootd #London #developer #hacker

This was the hardest marathon so far 
The first part was wonderful, the second half of the marathon I started running out of steam almost in a state of delirium!

Morning! I do actually train, I promise! Just since the temperature has dropped it’s been hard to get out. If anyone had a spare few quid to help the #0n1ydan5 @refugecharity.bsky.social fundraiser that might help! www.justgiving.com/page/0n1ydan5 (also follow link in bio)

So yup, I’m now training again to run Brighton and London Marathons, 2 weeks apart in April 2026 for @refugecharity.bsky.social 
If you can please donate www.justgiving.com/page/0n1ydan5 but if not, just follow, like share would be amazing to spread the word!
Thank you ❤️

I lost 4 stone and ran the London Marathon in 2023. 2024 was a quiet year as I broke my collarbone in 2 places but I got back to it with Brighton and London Marathons both in April 2025 and in 2026 for Refuge

Hey there, thought it would be good to do an introduction here for those not aware of #0n1ydan5 
I’m Dan, 42 and work in cybersecurity. After I broke every bone in my foot 10 years ago and COVID I put on a lot of weight so started running with C25k.

Aaaaaand stretch!

A nice nearly 12km run today In Amberley! Good to get back into it after a two week break. The weather couldn’t make its mind up but was great fun and got to see some lovely views ❤️ www.justgiving.com/page/0n1ydan5 #0n1ydan5 #UKRunChat #RunningPunks #SussexRunning #TrailRunning #MarathonTraining

If you think about it, every place has the crank in the pub that most people tell to shut up. If you put them all together that makes many more than 100,000. Let’s put into perspective. We know there are more of us that don’t agree with the nonsense in London today. Don’t let em ruin your weekend.

Here in pic form too

7.5km today. Best get out of bed. #0n1ydan5

Not many photos as fought to stay in the zone but managed it. I actually got up at 5am to do this but then procrastinated till midday! At least I got home to see the F1 Italian GP Quali in time! www.justgiving.com/page/0n1ydan5 #0n1ydan5 #running #marathontraining #runningpunks #ukrunchat

7km sunset run! I finally got out at 6pm to do the run I woke up at 5am for 😬 Lovely to see the sun hit the beach though ❤️ www.justgiving.com/page/0n1ydan5 #0n1ydan5 #sussexrunning #ukrunchat #runningpunks #marathontraining

Behold the squeak ❤️

Morning! Rather rainy here so have opted for grey sweatpants till my run later! Coworker also reporting for duty and loving her squeaks in the videos below ❤️

9km beach easy run. Was good to get out today albeit later than I expected. But good to get it done. Raising money for @refugecharity.bsky.social until June 2026 at least please donate if you can! www.justgiving.com/page/0n1ydan5 #0n1ydan5 #runningpunks #ukrunchat #sussexrunning #TeamRefuge

A nice morning 11km run in the mid-Sussex countryside, and the first one without having headphones. Managed pretty well and loved hearing the ducks, birds, cows and sheep instead! Raising money for @refugecharity.bsky.social www.justgiving.com/page/0n1ydan5 #0n1ydan5 #RunningPunks #UKRunChat

Woohoo! Official confirmation that I’ll be heading to the 2026 @londonmarathon raising money for @refugecharity.bsky.social from now till next year so head to www.justgiving.com/page/0n1ydan5 - thanks in advance! #0n1ydan5 #marathon #marathontraining #londonmarathon #runningpunks #ukrunchat

Coffee, water, and the desk ready to start the day! How do you start yours?

Happy Black Cat Appreciation Day! Here is a Britney! #blackcatappreciationday

Brighton Beach on my 10km progressive run.

10km progressive run today. Did the penultimate 3km a lot faster than the target and had to come in slower for the final 2km. Thats why discipline is important! Do what is asked, no more, no less! And I’m terrible at it 😂 www.justgiving.com/page/0n1ydan5 #RunningPunks #UKRunChat #0n1ydan5

What is a progressive run?

What is an easy run?

I think this was taken in a nightclub where I’d taken my top off and my best friend captured it to show me. Because I’d rarely actually expose my top in public. Because body dysmorphia is a real thing, even if you’re able to mask confidence. Yes, I was stupid! 😂

Whenever I feel a lack of motivation, I go back to this photo of me when I was 21. Believe it or not I hadn’t done much exercise after quitting boxing a few years beforehand and thought I was in terrible shape.

A lovely run in the sun this morning! Nice low effort and was happy that the predicted times for half marathon and marathon are getting closer to what they were before the collarbone break 🙌 Another in the bag! Let’s go! justgiving.com/page/0n1ydan5 #0n1ydan5 #RunningPunks #UKRunChat #TeamRefuge

The perfect response just came on as Runna tells me to pick up the pace! tidal.com/browse/track... #RunningTracks #0n1ydan5 #RunningPunks #UKRunChat #TeamRefuge

You’d never know that this face was responsible for the capture of a small sparrow this morning. Luckily the bird lived and was relatively unharmed. Remember kids, stay vigilant on those friendly phishing emails! You might be a sparrow for a cute cat 😂

Bleary eyed, bushy tailed but ready to run on this beautiful day! 7.5km today! Let’s go! justgiving.com/page/0n1ydan5 #0n1ydan5 #TeamRefuge #RunningPunks #UKRunChat

Happy International Cat Day from Buffy and Britney ❤️

Just a quiet night in

Well I guess I can’t make dinner.

Well……. That escalated quickly!

Remember kids, Python prints f to pay respects

Just seen a ChatGPT response without one em dash in sight. We’re now all doomed. Joking aside, I’ve been trying out various Gen AI systems like ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor with varying results. I might write these up later. Essentially, they improve things but have limitations. All tech does though.

Whilst I’m generally very supportive of hydration vests for any distance, this might be a bit too much! 😂 What does everyone else think? www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

Buffy says hi too

Sure, everyone talks about Kensington locks to stay secure. Yada yada yada…… Have you considered a Britney to keep your laptop safe?!? Huh?!

My new favourite game is to invent a nonsense phrase and ask an LLM to tell me the meaning. It then frantically tries to invent an answer 😂 it’s like having a little narcissist in your phone 😂 Here is the explanation for that well known phrase “if the shark bites the moth flies” 😂😂😂

THE LIONESSES ARE OFFICIALLY EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS 🏆 Doing the #BarclaysWSL proud ❤️

Things are so bad, the planet is calling for Batman.

Well done Lionesses! What a result ❤️

Cosmos - Take Me With You. I remember buying the vinyl of this in 2002 when I was 19. Remember playing it and seeing many people dance in sweaty clubs with big smiles on their faces. Pretty awesome to see some 23 years later 19 year olds doing the same with 40-50 year olds. Good music is timeless ❤️

Yeah this is a great way to spend a Sunday tbh ❤️

Can’t believe Sasha Digweed gets his full name and John only gets his first name.
