Today, after over 9 months of Achilles injury and rehab, I'm going to go running with my son. If I can get him out of bed on a Saturday morning...

If you're a runner, you should buy Raz's book. www.runningsucks101.com/p/i-wrote-a-...

Delighted to receive ‘This is Running’ in the mail today. A celebration of a book! Also delighted to receive a mention for ‘Running’ in the further reading section. 👟⚡️🦄 @dukepress.bsky.social @runningsucks.bsky.social #running #runningbook #runningculture #runclub

I very much enjoyed this Culture Study podcast from *April* with @joshgondelman.bsky.social. I visited Boston for the first time in May and I wish I was this enlightened before that! spotify.link/dp5O7lhNCXb

Of course the day I post this story, 3 months after the interview (ask me why!), Liverpool bloody Football Club does a grid post 😂 www.runningsucks101.com/p/how-to-run...

I just throw shit at the wall Wordle 1,544 2/6 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

I wrote a little about #cowboycore and running, feat. hot buzzwords: Western States, Yellowstone, Beyonce, and tradwives. www.runningsucks101.com/p/cowboy-cor...

Who's in London next month? I am. Come hang out. www.movemint.cc/events/conve...

Hattie Williams has written the best debut novel of 2025, and it's imbued with the power of running. I talked to her about it. www.runningsucks101.com/p/bitter-swe...

This week I found out about an interdisciplinary paradigm that didn't really exist when I was at university. In an era where we can obsess over our why, it's a research topic that could help explain so much about running. Read about it. www.runningsucks101.com/p/the-geogra...

It's really funny that No Kings Day is on the King's birthday.

So it just occurred to me that the situation in LA right now is literally a "next civil war" scenario in "The Next Civil War" by Stephen Marche. My god. I'm so hope it doesn't play out the same as the book.

The Guardian says that the pandemic is not the cause of this running boom, which I think is absurd. Why did SO many people start run clubs in 2022, then? www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/m...

Run clubs are a solution to both the American Loneliness Epidemic AND your local independent coffee shop's faltering revenue.

I'm fascinated by runners who get beyond the point of desiring personal achievement. Call it enlightenment, if you will, but marvelous things start to occur. www.runningsucks101.com/p/irondad-en...

This ain't nothing new in America. Some of us saw it coming.

I interviewed the man who created the Zara Athleticz carbon-plated running shoe. Please read it and have a strong opinion. www.runningsucks101.com/p/zara-athle...

You will be victorious!

I wrote about Aaron Garcia of Keep Runnin' Santa Ana, and how he led his team to Huntington Beach for Surf City Marathon even after the city went out of its way to make sure his Latino runners were not welcome there. www.runningsucks101.com/p/race-relat...

I saw this guy on the treadmill in the gym (normal, fine) and he was watching videos on his phone (normal, fine) but he was listening through WIRED HEADPHONES. What the heck?!? Is he a PSYCHOPATH?? I kissed him on the mouth when I walked up to the mirror, anyway.

Already had a nosebleed and stepped in dog shit today. No third thing, please!

Three enforced weeks off and five interviews to write up 🥴 Thank fuck for AI transcription (boooooo etc).

SCOOP: Candace Owens is launching a new media platform including paywalled content, a book club and fitness app, which will provide women with ‘80’s-style at home workout videos. I wrote about her quest to target millennial and Gen Z women, especially young mothers. www.usermag.co/p/candace-ow...

21hrs in and I've raised over $600 for LA wildfire charities via Substack. LFG. www.runningsucks101.com/p/whats-in-a...

How many pairs of swim shorts (that you'll never wear again) do you currently own from going on weekends away without packing a pair of swim shorts? 4 for me!

Good meme. Glad I made it.

I wrote about the LA wildfires and what to do when you can't run. Featuring a key Buddhist principle that WILL make you happier. Think of it like ancient therapy speak. And yes, that was the view from my backyard last week. Click it etc www.runningsucks101.com/p/what-do-yo...

Two cool dudes being nice! Literally the opposite of what podcasts are known to be.

I signed up for my first 5k race because of a lie to get out of an evening of drinking. I wrote about that. I also wrote about the Satisfy vs Nike situation. Not cool! Take a read. www.runningsucks101.com/p/new-year-n...

Southampton, you have my attention.

What's your favorite running book of 2024?

An underrated feeling is when you meet someone, and you realize you have a mutual friend, so you take a picture together and send it to that friend with no context. What a rush!

I'm at @theverge.com today talking about digital decay, link rot, watching my work slowly being erased from the internet, and how it makes me feel like I am fading away.

I'm too tired to do any more than post a link but I wrote about social media and #running www.runningsucks101.com/p/sharing-it...

My dog can't even look at me after what I just did

2/2 ❝Does this mean the runner is not magnanimous? No, it just means that there are more factors involved in achieving success than our moral character. — @sabrinablittle.bsky.social www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/cons... #running #trailrunning #ultrarunning

1/2 ❝We can imagine a runner who adequately perceives her abilities, yet fails to run a race reflective of those abilities. This is just part of the sport—preparing for opportunities that may never come to fruition. (𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵.)

FIX YOURSELF, SUBSTACK

Some good old-fashioned storytelling this week. I wrote about a man who ran a 100-mile race 6 months after spinal surgery, but that's only half the story of his life of setbacks. www.runningsucks101.com/p/christophe... #running #trailrunning #ultrarunning #run

Wrap it up folks. We was radicalized by Tim Urban.
