1/2 What's it like to be the last man standing? Damian Hall, aka the path finder, aka @ultradamo.bsky.social is back from the Barkley Marathons #BM100. We’re interviewing him about mud, grit, and the "Climate Hypocrite" paradox. Submit your questions via slido👇🏻 📷 David Miller Photography

Every time John Kelly writes about running, I want to take off into the woods. Some great reflections as always, a week removed from the Barkley. I'm excited to follow him at Western States and beyond. Can't believe a Barkley/Spine/Penine Way legend did it all without strength training 😂 #bm100

Some great video & vlog footage over on Instagram from Allie Bailey @ab_runs who is crew & partner of @ultradamo.bsky.social I’ll let you all have fun watching, spotting and confirming names on the list. #BM100

Great pod to listen to on this morning’s run. My run contained no briars, no fog, no vert, no books, no sleep deprivation, no bare foot running, no nicknames (that I know). In awe of @ultradamo.bsky.social a the #BM100. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/c...

Dartmoor was misty and wild this weekend for our Way of the Runner retreat with Damian Hall, who joined us fresh from scrambling around the infamous Barkley Marathons course just a few days earlier - he still had Barkley mud on his shoes.

Come for the Barkleys and @keithdunn.bsky.social’s brilliant commentary. Stay for The Green Runners, whose co-founders include Jasmin Paris & Damian Hall @ultradamo.bsky.social thegreenrunners.com

1/3 "The most important thing we can do is to make climate breakdown a normal conversation." 🗣️ @ultradamo.bsky.social believes #HowWeSpeakOut is our most powerful tool. It’s about progress, not perfection, and using our collective voice to demand change. 🌍

I just watched a powerful new Greenpeace film exposing how Eni – one of the world’s biggest oil and gas companies – is using the Winter Olympics and Paralympics to greenwash its climate damage. Watch and share the film, and add your name: act.gp/4k1d4CM

🚬Milan has some of the most polluted air in Europe. Yet the Winter Olympics are promoting the same pollution the city is trying to curb with its strict smoking bans.

Please help take the National Emergency Briefing across the country by donating to our People's Emergency Briefing film crowdfunder, if you can. www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/the-people... Thank you to the many who have already donated. #NEB2025 #TimeToStepUp

We are facing an extremely serious threat. There is much we can do, but action will not happen until the public is informed. Please ask your MP to sign the Parliamentary Call for a televised emergency briefing on the #climate and #nature crisis. #NEB2025 www.nebriefing.org/parliamentar...

We’ve already reached this weekend's £10,000 match funding target. Thank you for the incredible support! Donations are still open, and every contribution now goes directly towards completing the People’s Emergency Briefing film and getting it out into communities across the UK. #NEB2025

The Spine Sprint North is starting at midday and runs for around 43 miles, from Bellingham to Kirk Yetholm! We’ve had some right reprobates registering today… 😜 🤩 #SpineRace #SprintNorth @ultradamo.bsky.social

@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social & @rory-stewart.bsky.social Your podcast covers so many emerging issues in the UK. The National Emergency Briefing shows the impact of Climate Change on every aspect of UK society. Please have an episode with @mikebernerslee.bsky.social

@alastaircampbell2.bsky.social & @rory-stewart.bsky.social unfortunately couldn’t make the National Emergency Briefing. Would they consider having @mikebernerslee.bsky.social on #Leading?🙏 Mike chaired the NEB and sets out the threats - and the choices ahead - with exceptional clarity. #NEB2025

Green Runner Damian Hall @ultradamo.bsky.social was one of more than 1,200 people who met at Westminster Central Hall for the 1st National Emergency Briefing on Climate and Nature. UK Parliament’s Energy Security & Net Zero Committee is inviting written evidence from organisations & the public.

The Winter Spine loves Green Runners and Green Runners love the Winter Spine. Good luck to all Green Runners racing & volunteering. May the green badge power you on. Thanks to @ultradamo.bsky.social for the photos.

I was going through my downloads and came across these photos again. Such a great way to start off my running year @adharanand.bsky.social . Finished two 50km and one 50mile race. Only one DNF (did half a hundred miler). But this retreat with the highlight @ultradamo.bsky.social

Football can’t solve the climate crisis. But it can help us imagine a future worth fighting for. In Sporting Tales published last year, Freddie Daley documented the climate activism journey of Arsenal legend, Héctor Bellerín. 🧵 1/5 Read the full piece. 👇

A great podcast episode in which @ultradamo.bsky.social talks all things Three Solo Challenge in which he attempted to complete the big three rounds solo using public transport to get between the rounds. An epic demonstration of #GreenRunning 💪🏻💚 open.spotify.com/episode/688u...

Katherine Choong signed the open letter urging climbing federations and other pro climbers to take a stand against polluting sponsorship. 🧗 The letter - released during the IFSC World Championships in Seoul - is part the Fossil Free Declaration. ✍️ Read more below 👇

We all love a bit of positive news. And we love this article about us (well we would wouldn’t we 😉) As @ultradamo.bsky.social says, to be a Green Runner “You don’t have to be vegan, you don’t have to give up flying altogether or have a stupid haircut like me.” Have a read, get inspired 📖

Global advertising giant IPG is accused of violating its own climate pledge by rebranding the world’s largest oil company, Aramco. 🏭 Here's why this exclusive story matters. 🧵 1/8

That moment when opportunist opposition politics runs up against the real world...

The UK's new normal is here: hotter and drier summers. The summer of 2025 will almost certainly be the warmest on record (we'll get confirmation next week). As this @metoffice.gov.uk graph shows, it looks set to break the record by a big margin too www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...

There. It. Is: "Renewables might now be cheaper than fossil fuel in the vast majority of cases, but this makes them less attractive to capital, not more. Fossil fuels are uncompetitive and highly profitable. Renewables are highly competitive and not very profitable."

CO2 levels are 15ppm higher because of climate feedbacks impairing the ability of the land and seas 🌊 to take up some of the extra CO2 we're pumping into the atmosphere, according to ‪@pfriedling.bsky.social‬ 🧪 This was expected, but it's still not good www.newscientist.com/article/2492...

Massive shades, bedraggled hair & a big smile at where I am now compared with a year ago. I almost gave up on exercising as health challenges seemed to come thick & fast. But @ultradamo.bsky.social never gave up on me & I now feel like I might be able to hit a trail again one day! Thanks Damo! 🙏🏻👊🏻
