Happy Birthday!

I've also found my Hylo Athletic Impact road shoes to be very hard wearing. I've run 552 miles in mine, and the uppers and outsole are hardly worn.

My experience of Inov8 shoes is generally poor, although I've got a pair of Mudclaw 300 that have covered 640+ miles and show little signs of wear.

The uppers on Altra shoes tend to fail quickly whilst the outsole on Hoka road shoes wear quickly.

VJ and LA Sportiva shoes are well made and robust.

What would you give for a 600km run for our river? - Wild About The Erme River If you ask WATER’s Deputy Chair and Farming Lead, 40 year old John Mildmay-White, the answer seems to be, ten days. That’s how long it will take him

Running for our rivers.

John Mildmay-White is running 600km over 10 days to raise funds for Wild About The Erme.

The funds will enable their scientifically-qualified all-volunteer team to undertake the testing needed to identify the types, and potentially the sources, of pollution of the R Erme.

Fossil fuels are the result of organic death on an unimaginable scale. You would think that could serve as a warning.

Rain on plastic.
Cold Tennessee air.
And the architect of chaos watching it all unfold.

#HowWeSpeakOut

Today @leavenotracebtn.bsky.social teamed up with The Green Runners & @brightonmarathon.bsky.social for a 5k community plog to showcase sustainability upgrades coming to the Brighton Marathon.

14kg of rubbish was cleared from Brighton seafront. Big kudos 👍🏻 to all involved.

Thank you. Whilst I'm sorry you're experiencing health issues, I'm pleased my blog helps others understand they're not alone and their experiences are not unique. I hope you can access the required treatment and your health improves soon.

Time that the Olympics stopped allowing the fossil fuel industry to use sport for #GreenWashing.

Join @greenpeace.eu in demanding an end to fossil fuel sponsorship.

A running fitness graph showing a steady increase in fitness over the last month.

My post Dragon’s Back Race DVT & TIA/Migraine health issues prevented me from running a single step for over 10 weeks, & my running fitness fell off a cliff. It has been tough mentally & physically getting back to running. Finally, the numbers are now moving in the right direction.

If it's possible, they need to make the most of daylight and the clockwise loop to make up some time and give themselves a realistic chance of a 5 loop finish.
