Here we go again. Bluesky deciding what users want to see and filtering "liberal" content. Is there really no chance of a nice social network not run by wankers??

The hallowed "good" race photo, that most elusive of beasts. Eric has some skill with the camera, made me look like I was an actual runner! Lovely and weird to briefly be the poster boy for a winter ultra. Highly recommend the Goat if you're up for a challenge. #running #ultrarunning

On today's run I did a sub 4 minute kilometre. Hardly Bannister, but not too shabby considering. The last 200m was a grim hang on, blowing out my arse. Seconds really do stretch when you're in the red. #running #progressnotperfection

I'm in the Lakeland 100 2026!! Ballot was entered on my birthday so it's definitely a nice nod from the universe. First summer ultra in 6 or 7 years too, can't wait. Who's done it? Any tips? #ultrarunning #running #lakeland100

Really wish more people in the UK would realise this. Alas, the structure of our energy market means we are forced to pay the highest daily strike price. Market reform is urgently needed, and very much achievable for the government. Contact your MP and demand change!

Last night Anna Troup won the ladies race of Race Across Scotland, finishing 4th overall. This after outright winning the summer Spine Race in June. After nearly 3 years out with injury. Oh, and she's 55 for anyone thinking age makes the slightest difference in ultra events. Inspirational!

📌 Hope this soul follows him everywhere . A true hero 🐥

This is a superb bit of work.

Yesterday Dan Lawson set a new record for the South West Coast Path. You may not have heard much about his attempt because he's a low key kinda guy. 630 miles. Over 35,000 metres of elevation gain. Blistering heat. Under 10 days. Simply incredible. #ultrarunning #running #nationaltrail

Hugely impressed by England's test series victory in Argentina. Away from home against a top side, several of our best players with the Lions. A few lads have possession of those shirts now & should be trusted with them for the Autumn Internationals Thoughts @squidgerugby.bsky.social ? #rugby

Katie Schide has broken 26 hours at Hardrock 100! First woman to ever do so. 25:50:52 Sensational running. #ultrarunning #running #hardrock

Wrote a little piece about Backyard Ultras. open.substack.com/pub/oliverha... Would like people's thoughts 🙂 #running #ultrarunning #writing

Weirdly not surprised to see this article today. Something has always felt off about the Winns and their stories. observer.co.uk/news/nationa... Turns out, they're pretty sketchy.

446 mountains in 45 days. Self-powered. www.inov8.com/blog/post/al... Alex Staniforth take a bow. #adventure #ultrarunning

Looking like either Caleb or Chris will be pushing for the win now they've built a steady lead, such a long way still to go so it could easily change. Kilian though......❤️ #wser #ultrarunning #running

This is insane. 11 runners within 2:30 of each other at 30 miles. Who makes a break for it? Who will cope with the heat? So many potential deciding factors. #wser #ultrarunning #running

Beyond excited to see how things unfold at Western States #wser today. Incredible field, could be a race for the ages. Who's your money on? www.ultralive.net/ws100#tracki... #ultrarunning #running

119 yards by Phil Gore is the new world record for Backyard Ultras. Astonishing stuff. Sam Harvey with the assist for the ages. www.facebook.com/share/v/14Eq... #ultrarunning #backyard #running

A new world record in the #backyardultra has been set at Dead Cow Gully. 118 yards. Madness. www.facebook.com/share/p/1LE9... #ultrarunning #running

While all the Spine madness was happening, over in the States John Kelly is still running ahead of the record for the Appalachian Trail #fkt live.enabledtracking.com/2025jkat/?fb... Go John! #appalachiantrail #ultrarunning

Episode 7 - the emotional one. I'm not crying, you're crying. @spinerace.bsky.social youtu.be/KcvPhxdg9yg?... #spinerace #ultrarunning #dotwatching

This is it, the final day. The effort required is now total. The desire to finish has to outweigh everything. Those dots you see are the toughest, most beautiful people you might never meet. Drop them a message. live.opentracking.co.uk/sspine2025/?... #spinerace #ultrarunning

Pretty brutal conditions today for the exhausted runners still pushing on at the @spinerace.bsky.social Hot, humid, zero shade, nowhere to hide. Personal admin is of paramount importance now. #spinerace #dotwatching #ultrarunning

Night 5. Consider that. You've been outside since Sunday morning, through every weather condition this country can chuck at you, and you're still moving. These people are heroes. Give them your support. @spinerace.bsky.social live.opentracking.co.uk/sspine2025/?... #dotwatching #spinerace

A word about Jon Shield. A lot of people would have expected him to win. He's currently in Byrness, suffering immense pain, yet still pushing on to get his finish. The determination, the spirit, is awe inspiring. #spinerace #ultrarunning #dotwatching @spinerace.bsky.social

Oh to be in Kirk Yetholm right now. What a moment this is going to be. Anna Troup, outright winner of the full Summer Spine. @spinerace.bsky.social #spinerace #dotwatching #ultrarunning #sheraces

The incomparable Anna Troup, leading the Full Spine, just passing Byrness on her way to Kirk Yetholm. 2nd place is still in Bellingham so it's looking good! @spinerace.bsky.social #spinerace #dotwatching #ultrarunning

The amazing Allie Bailey is closing on on Kirk Yetholm and a fabulous win at the Challenger North @spinerace.bsky.social live.opentracking.co.uk/snc2025/ #spinerace #dotwatching #ultrarunning

Episode 4 is another cracker. youtu.be/axPa8pc2_Mk?... @spinerace.bsky.social #spinerace #ultrarunning #dotwatching

The top 3 is currently ALL FEMALE! 😀 live.opentracking.co.uk/sspine2025/?... #spinerace #dotwatching #ultrarunning @spinerace.bsky.social

Every @spinerace.bsky.social gets dubbed something. The wet year, the muddy year etc. I propose 2025 is the Amazing Women's Year. Top class performances across every race so far. #spinerace #ultrarunning #sheraces #running

Proper nail-biter happening in the inaugural Sprint North @spinerace.bsky.social This is going to the wire. #spinerace #dotwatching #ultrarunning

Who else is enthralled by the current state of the @spinerace.bsky.social Big Race? First and second in Alston. Jon Shield and Anna Troup. Who's feeling better out of the 2 of them? The psychology is fascinating. #spinerace #ultrarunning #dotwatching

Looking at Challenger North, James Hargreaves is tearing it up with a huge lead. Debbie Stevens and Allie Bailey are with touching distance, could easily go either way today. Too many dots to keep track of! #spinerace #dotwatching #ultrarunning @spinerace.bsky.social

Episode 3 of Spine TV is a great watch. They always are. youtu.be/x_NPx-UvUkI?... #spinerace #ultrarunning #dotwatching @spinerace.bsky.social

Good morning sports fans. We have 4, yes 4, women in the top 5 of the Big Race. This is absolutely bloody fantastic. Cross Fell awaits today. live.opentracking.co.uk/sspine2025/?... @spinerace.bsky.social must be buzzing. #spinerace #dotwatching #ultrarunning #running

Night 2 on the Big Race. This is where the screw really starts to turn, sleep monsters will be lurking, nav will become tricky as the brain function reduces. Who rests when, and for how long, becomes so important now. #spinerace #ultrarunning #dotwatching @spinerace.bsky.social

True story. This thing can be, and frequently is, life-changing.

It's now 3 women in the top 5 at the @spinerace.bsky.social Full Spine. live.opentracking.co.uk/sspine2025/ Awesome stuff ladies, keep it up! Jon still blazing away out front, where does he get his energy?? #spinerace #ultrarunning #dotwatching

And they're off! Challenger North has begun. 160 (it's 150 really but keep that a secret 😉) of the finest miles the Pennine Way has to offer. live.opentracking.co.uk/snc2025/ #spinerace #ultrarunning #dotwatching @spinerace.bsky.social

Early update...Jon Shield still holding a strong lead in the @spinerace.bsky.social Big Race. Great race developing behind him as they come over PyG. The CP at Hawes will be a welcome sight to them all later today, get that kettle on! #spinerace #ultrarunning #dotwatching

I count 4 women currently in the top 10 on the @spinerace.bsky.social Big Race. Irene is tied 2nd. This is exactly how it should be. Go ladies go! live.opentracking.co.uk/sspine2025/ #sheraces #ultrarunning #spinerace

Fuck Fascism. Power to the people.

Congratulations to Eleanor Walker on a superb win on Challenger South. Brilliant running. #spinerace #ultrarunning #dotwatching

Irene, Shirley, Emma. Those are your 3 dots at the front of the Spine Big Race. Nowt between them at this point. live.opentracking.co.uk/sspine2025/ #spinerace #ultrarunning #running #dotwatching

If Jon could see ghosts, Tiaan would be just up the hill from him right now. Would not be the least bit surprised if he's got the record schedule on his watch, it's definitely in the front of his mind. Go Jon! #spinerace #ultrarunning @spinerace.bsky.social

Looks like Eleanor Walker has made a decisive move in Challenger South. Jon Shield clearly out to smash records in the big race. So much fun!! @spinerace.bsky.social #spinerace #ultrarunning #dotwatching

Flying start from Jon. Can never fully understand quite how these elite runners can move so fast on that terrain, but love seeing them do it.
